Liz our tour guide was absolutely amazing! We saw several different herds of free roaming horses on our tour! We got to get out and feed them and pet them! It was worth every penny and it feels my heart with joy to know the money is not for profit, they use it to feed a care for the horses! Absolutely recommend!

My husband and I always take a trip for our anniversary in September. This year we rented a cabin in Campton Kentucky.

While going through the Kentucky visitors guide I came across the Appalachian Horse Project. Land that was used for strip mining has been reclaimed for free-roaming horse herds. Make a reservation and a guide, ours was Liz, will take you on Safari to find the horses. Liz was amazing! So informative and passionate about the area, the history and the horses! We spent 4 incredible hours with her and the horses and the scenery.... read full review

This was definitely worth booking a tour it was very fun and there were so many gorgeous views and horses at the mountain.

You can even feed the horses when the tour guide tells you it’s safe... read full review
