Whispering Woods Riding Stables

Just moved to Lexington, and decided to take my 3.5 year old horse riding. We did the 15 minute cabin ride and it was a fun experience. In fact, my son had such a fun time, that we did that twice in a row! An employee held the reins to my sons horse and I was able to ride right behind. The employee also took some great photos of us. After the horse ride we fed our horses some apples (gotta bring them from home). And then we fed the goats, pig, donkeys, and miniature pony. They appear to have more fun things to do, but given Covid, we didn't adventure out too much. Highly recommend!

We were excited about a riding excursion and we're glad the rain held off for us. Whispering Woods was recommended in a visitor magazine so we gave it a try. Let me start by saying that we had a good ride and our guides were friendly and helpful. They had helmets and saddlebags for us to use. Careful consideration was given to trying to match a horse with a person's experience and size. My horse, Jackson, was said to have a tendency to be lazy and grumpy, but we got along well. So, why isn't my rating higher? Well, the property needed some love and attention. The pastures were bare with uncovered hay rolls for the horses to eat. The trails were so incredibly wet and muddy the whole way. The horses were slipping and sliding multiple times. Honestly I felt bad for asking the horses to work in those conditions. The lake and adjacent cabin were not pleasant views. Things just felt a little run down. There is a lot of potential here, but some effort needs to be made to make the overall experience one riders want to rave about.

I'm glad this place was open even with COVID. They take precautions. Like any other establishments, mask is mandatory inside the office. They have sanitizer on the table where you sign in the waiver and they have us sanitize our hands right before getting on the horse. Our guide was pleasant, really nice and patient with us. She walk us through how to maneuver a horse. We had a great experience here. Definitely recommend if you plan to visit Lexington-Georgetown area.

What a wonderful name for this place. It's very peaceful riding through the woods of Kentucky. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. We enjoyed this experience and highly recommend this place.

My family of 3 kids, 10-16 and 2 adults had a great time on our 45 min ride. The scenery was beautiful and we even spotted a dear watching us. The guides were professional and the horses were great. Everyone had a fun time and felt very safe.

Had such a great time! Great instruction, felt super comfortable even though it was my first time on a horse in decades. We will be bringing friends and family as they come to KY to visit!

Beautiful, relaxing experience! Our guides, Jade and Felicity were very kind, knowledgeable people. Such a fun activity to do if around the area, totally recommend this lovely place.

I love this place. It was fantastic ride. Our guide was phenomenal. Her name is I don't remember now, but Chad Strawberry color medium length hair. But all the girls were wonderful. I had and my husband had a most terrific ride. I never felt so relaxed and having so much fun highly recommend him.

Okay, if you need a place to chill out with some time in the woods, this place will provide that respite, on horseback.Doesn't get better than riding a reliable horse, guided by a knowledgeable lead rider ... my friend and I enjoyed Cheyenne's calm welcoming demeanor along with her friendly chatter mixed with helpful advice on our individual horses while she led us through some beautiful woods full of ponds, tall shady trees ... we even got to see a doe calmly drinking at the pond as we passed by. Could it get any more idyllic?I know I'll be going back ... you be the judge and go see for yourself.

I was 100% satisfied with my visit here! I enjoyed my ride and my guide Emily was amazing! Marley was the best horse with such a funny personality. I would 10/10 recommend coming here!
