SCHEDULES
Tours are offered morning and afternoons, starting at 9AM and 1PM, 7 days a week. We are open 358 days a year, and closed during major holidays. The tour lasts 2-3 hours. You will be getting out of the tour guide’s vehicle to pet the horses, if you choose to. You will be able to get close to many of the horses. Bring carrots or apples if you’d like to feed them, under the guidance of your tour guide. Photographs are encouraged!
Reservations are required 48 hours or more in advance, so that we can schedule a guide. Thank you!
Tours go out in all kinds of weather, except for heavy ice or snow, or an unusually heavy rainfall. We will notify you of bad weather within 24 hours of your tour time. You may cancel or reschedule with no penalty at that time.
PRICES
You will be glad to know that about 35% of your tour fee goes directly to the Appalachian Horse Center for helping the horses, such as winter feed, salt blocks, vet care, transportation, etc. The rest goes to our Tour Guides.

Our guides do the tours because of their passion for the horses. They get paid a small amount, so tips are welcome if you think the tour was interesting and fun.
