Exploring Shenandoah National Park on horseback is one of the best ways to go. Skyland Stables, located along the Skyline Drive (mile marker 42), will take you on a guided one or two and a half hour trail ride from April through early November (weather permitting) through the beautiful wilderness of this Park. You must be at least 4'10" to ride horses, but pony rides are available for the smaller children. You can make reservations at the Skyland registration building, or call the stables one day in advance.
