What Our Riders Say About Black Prong Adventures

Jon L.

We had an absolutely amazing trail ride! Our guides were friendly & knowledgeable, and it wasn’t difficult to see & feel their love & enthusiasm for the awesome horses & the beautiful ecosystem that is the Goethe Forest. Highly recommended!

Jennifer B.

What a fun experience! We wanted to take our kids on a trail ride while visiting Gainesville. It took 45 minutes to get there, and it was totally worth it! The trail was peaceful and the guides were awesome. My kids had an amazing time and cannot wait to go back! Thanks for a great trail ride!

Leigh D.

Our family of 4 had an amazing ride! The guides were wonderful, informative and made it such a great experience for our two boys’ first horseback riding experience! The horses were instant friends for our boys. We’re also camping here for 4 nights and it’s a beautiful, well taken care of property overall. We’ll definitely be back!

Dawn M.

Took my husband for Valentine’s Day. We are not very experienced, but the Black Prong Team made us feel comfortable. I am extremely passionate about animal welfare and the horses were well cared for and well trained. The property is beautiful and made for horse lovers. Look forward to coming back in the future!
