Just in case you haven't realized this lately, West Virginia is a beautiful state. With rugged mountains, lush valleys, verdant forests, wide rivers, torrential waterfalls, and quiet coves, there's always some stunning new Appalachian view to explore... and there's always some new way to explore it, too.
What's your favorite way to explore the beautiful mountains of West Virginia? Maybe by car. Maybe by foot.
How about by horse?
That's right, Autumn Breeze Stables, located in Snowshoe Mountain, West Virginia, provides the perfect way to experience the rugged splendor of Almost Heaven in a unique new way.
Offering horseback rides of various lengths throughout every season, Autumn Breeze Stables can accommodate new or experienced riders and large or small groups.
They even offer carriage and sleigh rides if actual horseback riding isn't your cup of tea.
The folks at Autumn Breeze Stables will take you through mountain meadows, past lakes, to old ruins, and through streams.
A half-an-hour ride designed especially for kids starts at just $30 per rider, and from there, options range all the way up to a back-country, overnight trip with meals for $325 per person.
All the horses at this stable are well mannered, and each ride comes with a brief training session to help you remember (or teach you) how to mount, start, stop, and respond to various common trail situations.
It could be you, you know, perched in this saddle, taking in this gorgeous view of some of Wild, Wonderful West Virginia's most beautiful backcountry. What do you think?
Rides are for ages 6 and up and riders must be under 220 to 240 pounds.
To learn more about how to reserve your spot in one of those saddles, visit Autumn Breeze Stables at their website or on Facebook. Not a horse-lover? Maybe you'd rather see West Virginia's beautiful back country by train.
