When the autumn season comes around to the Volunteer State, you really can’t miss it. The trees go wild with color, from burnt orange to rusty red and yellow, and the locals plan festivals and outdoor experiences that really take advantage of the crisp weather. If you’re looking for a fun new way to explore the state this autumn, there’s no better way than a horseback ride through Middle Tennessee. Natchez Trace Stables delivers a personal horseback riding experience through the midst of Primm Springs, just outside of Nashville.
Natchez Trace Stables is a small, locally owned stable in Primm Springs, Tennessee. You'll find it just three miles from the Natchez Trace Parkway, tucked away amidst the rolling hills of the mid-state.
Here you can see the Birdsong Hollow Bridge, one of the most popular locations on the Natchez Trace. If you choose to reserve a horseback ride at the stables, you'll have the chance to ride through the beautifully colored foliage and local wilderness.
Horseback rides can be reserved with a phone call, and you'll have the chance to schedule a group ride that's expertly handled by on-site staff. Natchez Trace Stables has been family-owned and operated for 15 years, and remains highly dedicated to providing a safe and fun experience.
There are multiple rides and trails from which to choose, but trail rides are generally two hours in length. If you have different needs or requirements you can give the team a call and they'll work with you to craft a ride that fits your needs.
The team recommends that you dress in jeans, and boots are preferred over classic tennis shoes. Most visitors don't have any riding experience at all, so you can feel comfortable knowing that you'll be led by experienced guides throughout your trek and the horses on-site are gentle, having been raised and trained on the family farm.
Natchez Trace Stables is located roughly 30-45 minutes outside of Nashville, Tennessee, making it easy for country folk and city slickers to come and enjoy the views. The riding experience was also voted the #1 Best Day Trip from Nashville by the Nashville Scene, and was honored by the Middle Tennessee Toast Readers' Choice Awards as the "Best Place to Take The Kids."
Will you be riding on horseback through the Natchez Trace this season? Fall in Tennessee is one of the best times to visit the Volunteer State, and getting out in the Great Outdoors is the perfect respite from a busy year.
