Guided Horse Riding Trails in Kentucky

Uncategorized

I don’t think that we have talked about it yet but I am a horse lover. I rode and showed horses my whole life. I miss it dearly, and it is a great way to spend a beautiful spring, summer or fall day. I have compiled a list of places in Kentucky that offer guided horse riding trails. Please note, there are a number of parks that offer horse riding trails but you have to bring your own horse and be your own guide. Many of these places offer different level horses, for the novice rider to the experienced rider.

Popes Creek Ranch in Lebanon, KY

Pope’s Creek Ranch closed in 2017. Sometimes in the quest for finding all things fun in Kentucky you stumble upon something too amazing that you can’t wait another minute to share it! That is what we came across very recently. It is called Popes Creek Ranch and it is located in Lebanon. It is the perfect setting for ‘glamping’ (glamorous camping) or in other words the only camping that I am willing to do.

Apple Valley Hillbilly Garden and Toy Land Museum

Uncategorized

Roadside attractions were a big thing back in the 70’s, and it seems that they are making a comeback. With Will Russell of Why Louisville buying Guntown Mountain in Cave City the attention seems to be even more focused on this seemingly forgotten rage.  When I put together our list of 101 Free Things to do with your kids in Kentucky, I repeatedly saw this attraction coming up! While I listed them I really didn’t ever dig too deeply into what they are all about. So I did a little digging and I am totally intrigued by what I have found!
