Private Ridge Adventure (Advanced)

Service Description

Ready to trade gentle trails for an unforgettable backcountry adventure? The Private Ridge Adventure is our most challenging and rewarding horseback riding experience, created exclusively for confident, experienced riders. This is not a beginner trail ride. Together with your private guide, you'll venture beyond our lower valley and climb to the highest points of our 150-acre family farm, where winding forest trails, steep terrain, and panoramic ridge views await. Because every ride at Spirit Valley is private, you'll never be placed in a large group or held back by riders with different experience levels. The pace, conversation, and experience are tailored specifically to you and your group, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the journey. As you navigate wooded hillsides, creek crossings, and rugged mountain trails, you'll experience a side of Tennessee that few visitors ever see. Along the way, we'll share the history of the property, introduce you to the horses that make these adventures possible, and stop at scenic locations to take in the beauty of the surrounding countryside. This ride is designed for those who enjoy being active in the saddle. Riders should be comfortable controlling a horse independently over uneven terrain, navigating hills, and spending extended time horseback. While we'll happily answer questions and provide guidance throughout the ride, this experience assumes riders already possess fundamental riding skills and confidence. Whether you're an experienced equestrian looking for a memorable destination ride or a returning guest ready for your next adventure, the Private Ridge Adventure offers a unique opportunity to explore trails unavailable on our standard experience. Due to the physical demands of this ride, availability is intentionally limited to help us maintain the quality of our horses, trails, and personalized guest experience. If you're looking for breathtaking scenery, a rewarding challenge, and the freedom of exploring private mountain trails at your own pace, the Private Ridge Adventure is an experience you won't soon forget.
