Who else thinks Rhode Island is at its most gorgeous in the fall? With perfect sweater weather, so much to do, and the changing leaves to watch, it’s truly a magical time to be in the smallest state. Leaf peeping is such a fun tradition that brings out droves of tourists as well as locals to watch the trees change to sunset colors and drop their leaves. Sometimes though, a foliage drive just doesn’t cut it! If you’re looking for a more unique way to observe the natural beauty of Rhode Island in the fall, this horseback ride is a great choice.

Sunset Stables is located in gorgeous Lincoln Rhode Island.

But we are partial to the guided rides offered in the fall for the added bonus of gorgeous foliage and hearing the satisfying sound of hooves crunching on fresh leaves.

Trail rides go through Lincoln Woods Park and last approximately an hour.

You will be with an experienced guide, and since children under eight are not allowed, it will likely be a more quiet and peaceful excursion.
