Happy Trails Walking Horses, LLC, Fernandina Beach

When it comes to traveling on horseback, riders would be hard pressed to find a gentler companion than a Tennessee Walking Horse. The breed is famous for its calm demeanor and steady, even gait—though many have lost these qualities due to years of breeding for horse shows. Luckily, the horses at Happy Trails Walking Horses still possess the smooth, easy gait of their ancestors, meaning those that hop into the saddle will be treated to what the stable owners refer to as the "Cadillac of Rides." The only thing that could make such a ride feel more idyllic would be a breathtaking view, which is exactly what riders can expect to find as they lead their horses down the romantic, scenic beaches of Amelia Island.
