OUR STORY
A First Generation Business
In 2010, Robin, a lifelong equestrian enthusiast, founded Elk Mountain Riding Company with the goal of sharing her passion for horses and nature with others.
Growing up in the Western North Carolina area, Robin has always been captivated by the region's rich landscapes and the powerful bond between horses and humans. Her dream to build a riding company that celebrates this connection has come to life in Elk Mountain Riding Company.
Over the years Robin has grown her small two-stable barn and six-horse operation into a full-fledged riding company with a 6 stable barn, 23 horses, and over 150 acres of rideable trails.
