Cades Cove Riding Stable is open (again)

After a brief problem with insurance, you can now rent horses again from the Cades Cove riding stables in the Smoky Mountain National Park.

Without any warning or ceremony last week the stables were shut down and so were the hayrides which are run from the same concession in Cades Cove section of the national Park.

Plenty of people I spoke to in Cades Cove were upset some complaining that now they had to drive quite a distance to another section in the park that does have stables that would be open only to face longer than regular lines and why didn’t someone tell them and why were there not signs around the park?
