Natchez Trace Stables

Natchez Trace is an amazing experience of true county living. Beautiful spacious pastures for the horses to roam, even a generous sized pond for the horses to stay cool and hydrated. Being from the city, I was not familiar with how to ride or care for horses, so it was truly a great learning experience. The ride is absolutely stunning — through gorgeous creeks and trails through the forrest. They even take the time to take pictures of all the riders on their horses. It is a dedicated family ran business and they even took the time to teach me about the horses and how to saddle them. Definitely a caring family that understands the needs of their animals — I highly recommend the experience and am looking forward to more frequently riding with them!

After watching the movie The Longest Ride, when the girl and guy were riding their horses in the mountains, my wife got the idea of looking for a place to ride when we got to Nashville, and she found this wonderful place.
To be honest I was expecting to see skinny horses, and not well taken care of, I do not like those places at all, but I’m glad I was wrong, the horses were well fed and taken care of, what a relief.
My horse’s name was Tanner (stubborn), he didn’t want to listen really well, that’s the reason the guide put me with him… to boss him and show him who the boss is because I have some experience riding. The name of my wife’s horse was Joey, he sometimes didn’t want to go either, but in general he was chill and obedient. The horses really know the trail well.
We had lots of fun, we went through hills, small creeks and the landscape was just amazing and beautiful, and seeing it while riding a horse just added to the experience. We definitely would come back and ride when we visit Nashville again.
Trying to find the place was not an issue for us, we used the directions they provided coming from Franklin and it was easy. It just took a little longer than we expected.

Had a fantastic day trip! Beautiful landscape on well behaved horses. There was even a miniature donkey that followed for the entire trip. Hilarious! I would certainly recommend this for those looking for a bit of an outdoor adventure.

My husband and I grabbed a spot on a Sunday afternoon ride and I couldn’t say more wonderful things about it! Sedona, the owners daughter and who would become our ride leader, was super sweet, answered all our questions and led us on a great ride! The horses appeared very well cared for (something VERY important to me, I’ve even left stables before where it appeared the horses weren’t in tip top shape). I rode a horse named Rain and she was very in sync with my riding level (semi beginner) and I felt completely comfortable riding her the entire time. You will experience the riding through the rolling hills of their beautiful farm land as well as a good time riding through a creek. The views are breathtaking and the whole experience was definitely one to never forget. If you want a scenic, relaxing, wonderful ride, visit Natchez Trace Stables! :)

This was an amazing place to go riding. It was a beautiful countryside ride through rolling hills and creek. The horses were great and our guide Brianna was very knowledgeable and fun to ride with. I can’t wait to visit again & take another beautiful ride.

Even though the weather is a «wee bit chilly».it’s still a fun/​safe adventure going out and enjoying the AWESOME, Clean, Quiet, Crispy nature that God has gifted us with in the Middle of Tennessee. Again, I HIGHLY recommend visiting Natchez Trace Stables. The trail ride leaders are the best and friendliest I’ve ever met. And, the horses are pretty cool & they love to show you a good time!

We enjoyed our two hour ride through meadows, hills and streams. Bri was our guide and kept us on a nice, relaxing pace. The horses are all gentle and good for both adults and children. We will go back again!

Fantastic experience! It was my very first time horse back riding and it could not have been better! They are very good about matching riders with the horses and assessing the level of the group for the ride! The property is absolutely gorgeous. on our two hour ride we went through open fields, woods, streams. The property is not the easiest to find but the person who booked my reservation was able to give very easy to follow directions! We enjoyed it so much that we already have our next ride booked!

My husband and I called up last minute and got reservations for the last ride of the day on a Wednesday. The drive out there was beautiful on the Parkway and when we arrived the land was beautiful! We had to wait a bit for the previous riders to get back so we had a chance to pet the dogs and see them play with the goat. We had a fantastic 2hour ride and even got to canter a while. Our guide was lovely and full of horse facts. We rode pasture, trails, in the river, and through the woods. Very worth the expense and drive from Nashville!

This is a great place to go for a relaxing ride through great trails, up and down hills, through woods and even across and through a creek. I have experienced NTRS during all of the seasons and it is great during them all. The Fall Foliage is BEAUTIFUL!!!
Always can’t wait to get back for another ride.

We have been going to Natchez Trace Stables for years. The views are amazing. We are always impressed with the guides ability to match the horse with the rider. The serenity of the creek is always the highlight of our trip. My family & I visit TN every year in different months and its always beautiful experiencing the different seasons. Can’t wait for are upcoming trip:)

My daughter and I had a wonderful experience at Natchez Trace Riding Stables. My daughter knows how to ride and was totally comfortable, but I am a complete novice. The guide made sure I was on a gentle horse which put me totally at ease while recognizing my daughter’s skills making her equally comfortable. We were visiting TN from AZ and were in awe of the gorgeous countryside. My daughter is begging me to go back. It will be my first stop the next time we are in TN. I highly recommend it.

Natchez Trace Riding Stables has some of the best views and trails I have ever been on! Awesome horses that are very well trained and attentive to your needs. I love walking through the creek! You can’t do that many places. I love that its a family ran business. They make you feel right at home. If your looking for a great 2 hour guided trail ride I would try Natchez Trace Riding Stables!

As many have mentioned this is a great place to go horseback riding, and it is only an hour from west Nashville. The pricing was $ 40 per person regardless age or day of the week for a 2hr ride through the woods, open fields with rolling hills, and then my favorite through a shallow creek. I went with a group of 3, two adults and one child, on a Sunday afternoon and it went great. The horses are very well behaved and pretty much walked themselves in a single file line throughout the trail which was nice for our 12 yr old. The staff was very friendly and helped everyone get on and off the horses. Before finding Natchez Trace I considered going with Juro Stables in Mt. Juliet however when I called they were booked on the weekends 3 wks out and I needed something sooner.
Also, I had considered doing a one hour ride but am glad I went with the two hr ride at Natchez because 1 he will go by before you know it.
What I liked most about Natchez was the variety of the trail. It was a great mixture, and and filled with neat experiences like stopping and taking a break from the trail near the creek and letting the horses dip their heads for a drink.
Areas for improvement there were a couple. Before starting the ride the instructors go over the ground rules however they do not include how to operate the horses like how to hold the reins, steering, and starting and stopping. These are very fundamental but nice to know for the inexperienced. Allowing groups to ride together in the line. During our visit a horse separated me from our 12 yr old and out would have been nice to have her riding with me and her mom. The instructor place the horses according to who they are comfortable walking next to. For example, the reason our 12 yr old got separated from was because her horse was walking behind her mom and the two liked to walk together which is understandable, but placing customers on horses which allow them to ride together would have been nice.

If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle make a reservation for a 2 hour tail ride at Natchez. Relaxing trail ride through creeks, fields, and woods. Beautiful this time of year with the fall foiliage. Horses are extremely well-​behaved and staff is courteous and helpful.

I absolutely am in love with this place and can’t wait to go back. The grounds were breathtaking. We went through woods, fields and a stream. They even allowed us to stop and take pictures by the stream. The horses were very well behaved and happy and the guides were very nice and told some great stories. Like I said, I can’t wait to go back. Can’t remember how much it cost, but it was definitely reasonable and worth every penny. I felt so at peace out there. Ahhhhhhhh!!!

Wow, I have never been on a better horse back ride in my life and I have been riding for 20 years. It was very scenic and we rode through creeks and beautiful scenery. The horses were great and well taken care of and the guides were very helpful. I will be back very soon and highly recommend Natchez Trace to anyone whether you are a beginner or advanced. They said they offer full moon night rides which I want to go on next.

I’ve gone on your 2 hour trail horse ride the last few summers and LOVED it. You provide a wonderful riding experience in a beautiful setting! I’ll be back this summer :)
