I write like it's my job - because it is! I have a Master's in English and love words: crossword puzzles, Scrabble games, Wordle, and, of course, good, old-fashioned books.
I'm a writer and editor at OnlyInYourState, and a contributing writer at Cincinnati Magazine. I love the Great Outdoors and am endlessly awestruck by this beautiful country of ours. Coffee keeps me going, yoga keeps me sane, my kids keep me grounded, and my writing keeps me inspired.
The Bluegrass State is an immensely beautiful place, and there are myriad ways to experience its splendor. From hikes through some of the world’s most celebrated wonders to spectacularly scenic drives, the possibilities for epic adventure in Kentucky are endless. But given that the Bluegrass is Horse Country, it’s only appropriate that everyone explore Kentucky on horseback, at least once, and preferably in every season… and region! And just outside of gorgeous Georgetown, Kentucky, Whispering Woods Riding Stables offers guided horseback rides through the beautiful backcountry of the Bluegrass.
Kentucky Horse Country is a beautiful place, and while Lexington is most often associated with this blue-ribbon slice of the Bluegrass, nearby Georgetown boasts equally scenic splendor, in the most beautifully bucolic of settings.
It's Georgetown where you'll find Whispering Pines Riding Stables, a place that celebrates the beauty of the Bluegrass in the most authentic and reverent of ways.
Located on 250 wooded acres, Whispering Woods Riding Stables offers visitors the opportunity to experience Kentucky's beauty by horseback... the way it's meant to be enjoyed, we say!
If you're looking for a "ring ride" tourist attraction in Kentucky, this is not it. Rather, Whispering Woods is an immersive experience in Kentucky nature...
...by horse! Rides and excursions range from 45-minute kid-friendly adventures to lengthier, 90-minute trail rides suitable for more experienced equestrians.
The backwoods at this Georgetown horse farm are incredibly scenic, full of hills, creeks, lush foliage, and an abundance of wildlife. Deer, fox and turkey are often spotted on the trails.
If you're looking for a reminder about everything that makes Kentucky so scenic and special, you'll find it (on horseback) in the Bluegrass backcountry of Georgetown.
Whispering Woods is open seasonally, March through November, and you can call (502) 570-9663 to make your reservation.
