Phenomenal experience! I am so glad my family booked a private trail ride with Mo's Carriages and Trail Rides! We got to meet Mo and he was so good about making sure we were all comfortable and ready to ride! Being from the city, this was my first time ever on a horse! I should have been nervous but in reality, I was ready to go!!! Mo and his horses were really good at making me feel safe, secure and ready to ride! My family and I are so glad we went riding and could make this wonderful memory! We now have a new tradition when I come into town to visit! Absolutely would recommend this for any and everyone!

I was looking for horseback riding near Birmingham and came across Mo’s Carriages and Trail Rides. I called to get more info and reserved a day to go riding with a group of friends for my birthday. The owner requests that you call the day of hours before your reservation to confirm your ride, which I did. I had a group of seven including myself.
The GPS took us all to a cabin building on a ranch in Clanton. Someone gave us directions to drive further down a dirt road to the actual trails. We met Moses (“Mo”) who was finishing up a ride from another group. He assigned us to our horses and helped each of us saddle up. He even had boots for those who needed proper shoes.
My friends and I had a GREAT time! Moses was friendly, had a great personality, and captured lots of video footage and photos for us. He coached us as we were riding the horses and told us stories. He led the group in a “Happy Birthday” song for me and was a wonderful host.
He guided us on how to handle the reigns when going up the hill and down the hill and leading the horses. We galloped and rode probably four miles on the trail. The horses were very well trained and are used to people. They fell in line and knew their places in the pack.
It was a wonderful and memorable experience. My friends and I would love to do it again. I highly recommend Mo’s.
The only thing is we needed a quick horse lesson before the trail ride because we were all beginners and relatively new to handling horses. But five stars for the experience, the owner’s friendliness, and how he showed us a great time. I had a great birthday. Thank you so much!

My daughter found Mo’s online and we called to get information. Mo was very informative when we talked. He gave us instructions on how the day of the ride would look.
When we arrived, Mo instructed us to the exact location on his ranch. My daughter has had lots of horse riding experience but Mo trained her in how to handle his horses. This was like nothing we have ever experienced. We had an incredible time! Mo spent well beyond the time we booked just having fun with us, teaching us, and telling stories. He praised my daughter for how great she was doing and she learned more about riding in a couple of hours than she did in years of training! Mo played music, took videos, and showed us a wonderful time!
If you want to ride horses, learn about horses, have a great time, and make a new friend, Mo’s is the place to go!

Moses is the absolute best! He matches your experience to the perfect horse! He’s very patient and informative. He always makes my daughter feel very comfortable and confident while riding. He’s the only one we go to for trail rides! I can’t wait for the day we utilize his carriage services as well!!!!! Thank you Moses for such an amazing experience every time! ❤️

I had an incredible time embarking on my first horseback ride at MO’s Carriages and Trail Rides. Moses, our guide, was exceptionally reassuring, ensuring my group and I felt completely comfortable and well-cared for. His guidance was top-notch, putting us at ease. The horses were wonderfully trained and calm. I even got to feed Daisy, my horse, which helped me feel more relaxed on the journey. I’m delighted to have crossed horseback riding off my bucket list and eagerly anticipate doing it again.
