Great tour with a nice ride. Horses were great, just an all around great way to see such an important part of our national history.

This ride is a must for a different view and way of learning about the battle of Gettysburg. Our Licensed Battle Guide Les was so informative and good humored, and... read more the audio sets provided were easy to use and the audio quality was great. As an aside, have no worries about using any of their equipment: their COVID-19 cleaning procedures are superb (check out their website).
And the horses! These are healthy well-cared for horses, whose personalities are well known to the wranglers. It was an honor for me to ride Pam's "baby" Pebbles, a kind and thoughtful Appaloosa quarter horse mare. From the smaller, sweetly sassy Haflingers to the huge, kindly Brabants, there's an equine for every type and size of rider. Good instructions were given before the ride regarding basic horsemanship, as well as the particulars for each of our horses.
A wonderful ride in beautiful weather on sacred ground with a top notch horse farm and knowledgeable battlefield guide - what better way to spend 2 hours?

Wranglers did great job matching riders with horses. They were very safety conscientious to a stellar level & did their very best at making even inexperienced riders comfortable. Guide was... read more very knowledgeable and made sure everyone’s questions were answered & areas of interest were covered. Felt the horses well cared for and felt the love & care for their safety too. Well mannered horses. Happy horse equals happy rider. Felt so much more in tune with the battlefield riding it as officers would have back then. As someone who has walked & driven the battlefield, I saw new perspectives on the topography of the ground for those “detail oriented historians” like me. This is a must do experience & this is the people & horses to do it with.

Had a wonderful experience on the trail. The horses seemed to be well cared for and my kids (11 & 8) had a fun and safe first experience trail... read more riding. They were asking when we could go back.

Tour guide was knowledgeable and gregarious. Horse wranglers were always
close by and attentive to rider needs, especially kids.
Also, be confident that if anyone becomes ill, this staff... read more knows how to respond.
I became overheated and asked for help right before we started. The horse wanglers were knowledgeable in first aid and quickly got me off the horse, gave me a Gatorade bottle, and got me to a vehicle with AC.
I stayed behind so my family could go on the ride, and Pam, the owner, personally checked on me in my vehicle about an hour after I went there to rest and recover.
Turns out I was having some medication side effects that contributed to rapid heat exhaustion.
This is a very safe family activity with a very experienced guide and staff.
Highly recommend this experience for your family .

These are some of the most pampered AND RARE horse you may ever sit on. Brabants? A Suffolk Punch? Well cared for, experienced handlers and so accommodating. There are a few different tours of Gettysburg on horseback, we’ve done 3 different tours and this is the only one I will book from now on. Thank you Pam!

Best riding stable in the area - we showed up a lil' late (our fault), yet the owner & guides still permitted us to go out nonetheless in which they were gracious in their accomodations. The scenery is much better on this side of the battlefield because you get great visuals of the Eisenhower farm, as well as the beautiful blue ridge mountains. The horses, staff, & location totally made it worthwhile hands-down. Thinking about horseback riding in the Gettysburg area? This is 'the' place & we can't wait to get back! 👍👍

We took a morning 1 1/2 hour trail ride. The horses were wonderful and very sweet. Our tour guides were very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. We didn't feel rushed at all. The owner is very nice and genuinely cared about our experience. We will definitely ride with them again!
