Adventure Trail Rides

Specialties

Experience the Blue Ridge Mountains by horseback with Adventure Trail Rides! Choose from the Valley Trail, a great beginner’s ride that’s easier on the bum! Or, take a Fairy Cross ride, where you’ll dismount and hunt for legendary Fairy Crosses. Other favorites are the Picnic ride by the creek, the evening Sunset ride or specially arranged Romantic and Proposal rides. The experienced guides will match horses to personalities, so you may be paired up with Diesel, Cupid, or Teaspoon! Back at the barnyard you can feed the chickens and relax in a rocking chair. Come on down ya’all!

History

Established in 2000.

Owners Derrick and Christine Callihan love a good adventure. They are both active in Cowboy Mounted Shooting and in bringing history to life.

If your looking for information about trails in the Cohutta Mountains or history in general, be sure to ask Derrick. He was born and raised right here on this mountain and knows the Cohutta Mountains better than anyone I know. In fact, this business location is also his childhood home. He is a true history buff as well!

Christine Callihan has been here just a few years but learning the hiking and riding trails in the area as quickly as is possible! Christine added Trailside General Store: a rustic general store and kitchen to the stables in 2012, shortly after their wedding in 2011 and this is where she can typically be found. Take a step back in time and stop in! Try a BLT sandwich or grab a rocking chair and a cup of coffee and relax next to the wood-​burning stove.
