horseback riding at barnsley resort

We only visited for the day since it was a beautiful day and we wanted a break from driving down 75. There is a $10 fee for entering but they waive it if you eat at the restaurants. We decided to go horseback riding and eat at the beergarden. There was a short 30 minute wait for the horse so we had a beer and played games at the building next door. The staff at the activity building was friendly but did not explain to us our trip options or the prices. At the restaurant the food was just ok. I suggest just getting a drink and playing games. When our horses were ready a staff member came in a golf cart and drove is to and from the stables. The grounds were not well kept and the horses were not well trained. Both of our horses were more interested in eating than walking and did not listen well to direction despite being an experienced rider. Our guide mentioned they were rescue horses. The $75 per person horse ride was expensive for they type of horse experience but the staff were friendly and accommodating.
