If you love Kentucky, then chances are you also love horses. They do seem to go hand in hand and those who don’t live in the Bluegrass State also tend to think of these beautiful animals when picturing our state. If you’ve always dreamed of exploring Kentucky on horseback, horse country is the place to go and you’ll find a lovely destination in Georgetown. Whispering Woods Riding Stables offers a trail ride in Kentucky that takes you into the woods and through those gently rolling hills. See our beautiful state with a fun-filled trail ride on horseback.
Whispering Woods Riding Stables is located in lovely Georgetown, not far from Lexington. It's in the heart of horse country and offers up the quintessential horseback riding in Kentucky experience.
The property has 250 acres of wooded areas and fields that include miles of riding trails. A variety of horses call Whispering Woods home, so riders of all levels are welcome or you can bring your own horse if you happen to be so lucky!
Safety is the number one priority with trail rides and the guides will make sure you are comfortable. Riders must be at least 8 years of age, but there are other options for younger horse enthusiasts.
Choose from a 50-minute or 90-minute ride, each of which are offered from mid-March into November. Be sure to follow along on Facebook, linked below, for current opening information.
The stables also offer birthday parties and other events, and as mentioned earlier, young riders can also hop on a horse or pony. Children ages 4-7 would love the Cabin Ride, which is a hand-led ride that lasts about 15 minutes. There are also more traditional pony rides.
Spring, summer, and fall are all great times to saddle up and enjoy a trail ride in Kentucky. Horseback riding and outdoor adventures have never been so popular, so hop on the bandwagon - er, horse - and experience a scenic ride with Whispering Woods.
