Horseback Riding in the Winter!

The Winter is a great time to go horseback riding. Most people only think of winter fun of being skiing, snowmobiling, tobogganing and ice skating, but they're missing the thrill of riding a horse through fresh snow packed trails. However during the winter months there is an abundance of horseback riding opportunities throughout the High Country.

The winter season is a great time to get outside and enjoy the magnificent mountain setting that surrounds you. Not ever day in winter is filled with snow and ice and below freezing temperatures! There are plenty of nice days during the winter time to get out and into Mother Nature’s playground. Horseback riding is a fantastic alternative from the car for sight-seeing. Horseback riding is just one of the many outdoor activities here in the North Carolina Mountains.

There are are a few riding trails and riding companies to accommodate your needs. Bring the entire family and create memories that will last a life time! You can visit the following links for more information:
