30+ years trail riding

Four years of saddle seat equitation
Pleasure driving competitor

Kenton founded Appalachian Horse Adventures in the Fall of 2008. He wanted to share his two major passions in life: the great outdoors & horses. What a better way to do that, other than trailing through the stunning Blue Ridge Mountains on horseback. Since 2008, Kenton has guided thousands of clients of all ages through the mountains he calls home. In 2020 Kenton decided to expand his business to Bath County and is excited to start on the trails he has hand cut on his private property.

Montebello

Jannette simply loves horses and people and will share her love for horses with anyone who will listen. Come experience the history and trails of the George Washington National Forest in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Montebello Virginia with her.

Jannette has been professionally trail riding and horse camping for over 20 years. During that time, she has also studied Parelli Natural Horsemanship and equine behavior and has directed children’s summer camp horsemanship programs. Connecting both new or experienced riders with Horses and nature is her passion and she looks forward to riding with you.
