My husband and I took the 2 hour trail ride and had a great ride. Our guide Alyssa (may have spelled her name wrong) was very pleasant to ride with and very knowledgeable of the area we rode through. The trail wound through beautiful scenery and was a little rugged in spots, but the horses were really steady and my husband (very much a beginner at riding) had no trouble negotiating the terrain. We look forward to riding with Piping Rock again next time we’re in the Reno area.

Tahoe Donner

Former Olympian biathlete Glenn Jobe designed this cross-country resort to be serene and sociable. In the summer, it features an equestrian center with pony rides, wagon rides and trail rides.

Tahoe Donner Cross Country Ski Area is our favorite. We try to go every winter. It has good rental equipment and a large variety of trails, from beginner to expert level. They also offer ski lessons.

Zephyr Cove Stables

Breakfast, lunch and dinner rides in the high Sierras.

Awesome experience! Our girls getaway to Tahoe wouldn’t have been complete without it. From the minute we arrived at the stables we were professionally treated. The gentleman that runs the stables picked all 7 of our horses he knew was best for us. Why? Because he has been doing this for 30 years and knows what he is doing! The team that works here aren’t amateurs. This is their life. Horses are wonderful creatures that deserve our love and respect. Having read a previous review I might suggest that if a family decides to come here with little children that have never ridden a horse before, you might want to prepare ahead of time. Perhaps a riding lesson or two at your local stables is a more realistic approach. Trail riding in the mountains is different than a pony ring. As for the adventurous ones out there seeking a place to forget about your woes, you’re in the right place! The views are spectacular. The trail guide is knowledgeable. Thank you Zephyr Cove Stables for staying open during such a challenging time. You brought such joy to our birthday celebration this last Wednesday. Stay strong and keep smiling cowboys & cowgirl Carly June ❤️
