While Sarah and I were taking a walk today, we saw a trail ride because it was the perfect day for it. Sarah was a bit jealous and I wondered what was so great about getting up on that big beast when I can out run them and out smart them in the pasture. I love when I have the opportunity to taunt them. She says it is relaxing and fun to ride horses up here in Mentone as you feel on top of the world. I am not totally convinced but some people must like it as there are several places in Mentone to go horseback riding and/or take horseback riding lessons.
Right next door to Mountain Laurel Inn Bed and Breakfast is Shady Grove Dude Ranch that offers ranch rides and waterfall rides for one($25) or two($50) hours. They take cash or a check and can be reached at 256-634-4673.
