OUR STORY
We're A Family Business
Elk Mountain Riding Company has been in business for over 13 years.
​
Formed from a dream to share the experience of Elk Mountain, the Blue Ridge Mountains, and the love of horseback riding.
​
Our goal is to continue our legacy as a generational operation through our children and grandchildren.
OUR HORSES
Gentle and Good Natured
At Elk Mountain Riding Company, we take great pride in our meticulously cared-for herd of horses. Each member of our equine family is handpicked for their temperament, health, and ability to provide a safe and enjoyable experience for our guests.
Our knowledgeable staff is dedicated to ensuring the best possible match between rider and horse, taking into consideration individual experience and comfort levels.
TRAIL DOGS
Your Very Best Friends
Our trail dogs are an integral part of our team, providing companionship and assistance during your unforgettable horseback riding experience. When not on the trails, our trail dogs love to socialize with guests, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
Their unwavering loyalty and enthusiasm make them the perfect companions for your next equestrian adventure.
THE BARN CATS
Keeping the Barn Pest Free
Our barn cats play an essential role in maintaining a clean and healthy environment. These feline guardians patrol the barn and surrounding areas, expertly hunting and controlling vermin.
We work with the Avery County Humane Society's Barn Cat placement program in helping rehome barn cats that prefer an outdoor lifestyle.
