Hickory Hollow Horse Farm

What wonderful horses, guides. wranglers and owner! The owner, Pam, met us at the departure point and very congenially, then covered a number of safety procedures, ending with a cheery "Bon Voyage!" Sarah then taught us some very important facts about equine behavior... The views really WERE stunning and the guide, mesmerizing clear through the earbuds. Jess was the best 'drag rider' EVER keeping us all on the straight and narrow with the occasional, "Pull on your right rain and squeeze with your left leg!" to keep Sunny and Teddy Bear from wandering onto the grass for a snack

My husband and I had our first tour with Hickory Hollow Horse Farm, the day before the end of their season. It was a perfect day, and 2 hr ride. The staff was friendly, efficient, and did a great job running things (Paul is also very knowledgeable & knows some other interesting facts-very nice man). The historical guide, Jim, is extremely knowledgeable and provides much info. I plan on bringing my grandchildren next season.

Our family of six scheduled a guided horseback tour of the Gettysburg battlefields with Hickory Hollow Farm. We were beyond thrilled with every aspect of the outing. The ease of completing the scheduling, payment and waivers all online, plus access to everything we needed to know about preparing for the tour was made easy on the website. The day of the tour we arrived early because we were so excited. We were greeted by friendly staff who welcomed us warmly and encouraged us to go meet the horses we would be riding while they finished their preparations. Every horse was immaculately groomed, saddled and quietly waiting to start their day. Hickory Hollow has the calmest, most beautiful well-trained horses I have ever had the pleasure of riding. The staff ensured that even the most novice rider would be safe and comfortable for the ride by educating them on handling the reins and correct etiquette for the well-being of the horse they were riding. The tour of the battlefields, which was already so unique from the perspective of being on horseback, was further enhanced by an outstanding narration of the 3-day battle by the park ranger as we rode. His knowledge of the skirmishes, troop placement and interesting aspects of the people who lived on the land during the battles, brought that time to life for us. The beauty of the rolling landscape was breathtaking. I strongly encourage anyone who has an interest in history and a love of riding to take this guided tour. You will cherish every minute! Our sincerest thanks to Pam, all the staff and the wonderful horses from Hickory Hollow Farm. See you again next season!

What a wonderful tour! This was my first time on a horse in 20 years and I was nervous, but my horse was amazing and so were the wranglers. The battlefield guide, Gus, really made the battle come alive - factually knowledgeable but also made the people relatable. Highly recommend!
