Description

About Slocum's Appaloosa RanchSlocum's Appaloosa Ranch, located at 1674 Private Hills Ln in Moneta, VA, offers trail riding experiences through scenic mountain terrain with a hands-on, no-frills approach to horseback riding. The owner April runs the operation with a straightforward style, providing brief instruction before rides that wind through creeks, hills, and wooded trails, with horses that range from gentle to spirited depending on the day. While many visitors appreciate the authentic farm atmosphere, reasonable pricing, and beautiful scenery, experiences vary significantly with some reporting well-managed rides and others encountering safety concerns during busier group outings. The ranch caters to all experience levels and also offers riding lessons for children, though the environment tends to be more rustic and unpolished than commercial stables.
