Blowing Rock Trail Rides

Our private trail ride today was amazing! Brad is down to earth, kind and made sure we were safe and having fun. I can’t imagine I would ever have another trail ride as beautiful as this one. The day was perfect! We are looking forward to coming back again! Thank you, Brad!

Wife and I take a trip every year to the Boone/Blowing Rock area for a few day's and always do a horse back riding trip. Brad and Blowing Rock Trail Rides are without a doubt the best experience you can get anywhere in the area. Brad is extremely personable and tailors the rides if you've been with him before. We had so much fun and can't wait to go back again!!

By the way if you see the Bat Cave you're in for a treat!

Amazing Horseback Riding Tours with Brad**

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We recently went on a horseback riding tour with Brad, and it was an amazing experience! Brad is a wonderful person—kind, knowledgeable, and truly passionate about what he does. We've done two tours with him so far, and both were incredible.

The horses were super friendly, well-trained, and well-behaved, which made the rides enjoyable and safe. Brad provided us with fascinating information about the area, enhancing our appreciation of the beautiful surroundings.

Brad's warm and engaging personality made the tours even more special. It's clear he loves sharing his knowledge and ensuring everyone has a fantastic time.

We are already looking forward to our next tour with Brad. This definitely won't be our last adventure with him!

Highly recommended!

What an absolutely AMAZING experience from start to finish! No sooner had Brad arrived, he had us laughing, saddled up and ready to ride! Brad was an excellent tour guide and very personable. We have been on numerous trail rides before and none compared to this one- Brad was quick to oblige any needs and truly made our time special. The horses were awesome and easy to ride. With many other trail rides, often it can feel slow, mundane, and one horse following the next, but with Brad’s ride we felt so free and truly got the real experience. 10/10 experience!

We come up every year and we will be making this our yearly tradition. Yeeee-hawwww!

Great ride with Brad on Saturday! Horses were well trained and Brad was an excellent guide. We are novice riders. Brad put us at ease and kept it fun!

Brad has created an amazing private trail ride business, and I’m so glad I found him! From his southern professionalism, to the trails of choice with gorgeous views, to his ponies with personality, to the songs and stories, I couldn’t have asked for anything better. Our ride may have been a little soggy but as Brad and I both agreed, any day in the saddle is a GREAT day. Thanks for the trail ride Brad, we’ll see you next time, Sugar! 😜

Wonderful experience!!! Brad was very friendly and personable. My husband had never ridden before and I have been on horses my whole life. Brad made sure we both were comfortable and let me gallop with my horse. He took photos of us and made the whole experience 10000% worth it.

My husband and I went on a trail ride in Blowing Rock for my birthday trip to Sugar Mountain. Best Birthday ever!! Words cannot describe how absolutely amazing our ride with Brad was. His horses are sweet and beautiful and well taken care of. There was nothing we did not love about it. The trails are wonderful with so much to explore. Cannot say enough good things about the entire experience, from the horses to Brad’s humming, singing, yee-haws to movie/shows quotes! We are making plans to come back this year just to ride with Brad and his horses again. Looking forward to it! Thanks so much Brad! Glad we made a new friend!

LOVED our ride with Brad! He was very warm, welcoming and great with instruction! The horses were very well tempered and great for beginners and the trail was beautiful ! We will be returning .

This was a wonderful horseback riding experience! You get your own private tour with the guide Brad Vines who was helpful, funny, and informative. He let us customize our trail ride and choose what we wanted to see (it was gorgeous). We got to trot and even run a bit which was fun and Brad was always checking in to make sure we were comfortable and doing okay. Highly recommend this tour and cant wait to come back and go again! Thank you Brad!

Today I had the absolute pleasure of riding with Brad. He was kind, funny, and extremely knowledgeable about the history of the area. I’ve had horses all my life, but haven’t ridden in about two years. I was nervous going into the ride about how it would feel to be back in the saddle. Brad made it an extraordinary experience! It was some of the most beautiful terrain I’ve ever ridden on. I simply cannot say enough good things about this experience. This is a company with integrity! I’ve already booked my next ride! Please Please Please consider booking whether you’re a first time rider or a lifelong rider!

Brad and his horses were absolutely wonderful! We spent such a beautiful, exciting time riding with him, up a mountain and through the woods, surrounded in nature. We couldn't have enjoyed ourselves more. The horses were sweet and lively, and we hope to return someday for another ride! Thank you, Brad!

I had the opportunity to enjoy a trail ride with Brad at Blowing Rock Trail Rides. I cannot praise him enough. The views and trails were absolutely breathtaking. The knowledge about the area and horses that Brad shared was amazing! If you are looking for a memorable experience, this is a must!

We had the best time at Blowing Rock Trail Rides! Brad was kind and patient — I can’t say enough great things about him. The horses are great and super sweet. We will definitely be back and can’t recommend him enough. Thank you Brad!

I highly recommend Blowing Rock Trail Rides! The scenery on the trails is beautiful, and the horses are well trained. Brad is on top of everything and makes the experience fun and relaxing. I'll definitely be a return customer!

For my granddaughter's spring break this year we drove up to blowing Rock trail rides and had an absolutely magnificent time !!! I can guarantee you that it was well worth the 5-Hour drive. I have been on many trail rides and none of them can compare to Brad's. If ever in the future I want to hop on a horse I'm taking the drive up again!!!❤❤❤

What can I say.... this was an amazing adventure and worth every penny. Brad knows horses and you can tell he loves what he does, with his vibrant personality and knowledge of the area. His horses were extremely well trained and the trail we rode was gorgeous. All was above and beyond our expectations and we will back to ride again. Thanks so much for the memories.

I’ve been on a few nice long trail rides, one of which was out in the mountains of Colorado! This ride with Brad was by far the best! Great for beginners! I look forward to riding again soon!

Had the most amazing ride, couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Brad was such an awesome guide, and really made sure we had the best ride possible! My husband and I highly recommend to anyone, no matter the experience levels!!

Brad always does the most amazing job. He makes sure we have a great time and makes us feel like family. We can’t say enough good things about him and Blowing rock trail rides.
