(Hocking Hills Horse Rides, Bloomingville) We had such an amazing time on our trail ride. The family owned business was very accommodating. They were able to schedule a ride that fit during our trip. We really enjoyed meeting the horses and getting to know their history prior to the ride. We loved the fact that these are rescue horses, and you can tell how much they are loved by the family who runs this business. Highly recommended. If we return to the area, we would totally book with them again.
