Neigh. The word “riding” in Reflection Riding does not refer to horses.

John & Margaret Chambliss and Harold & Marie Humphreys bought several farms they described as “abused” in the 1900s that became the grounds for the Reflection Riding campus we all know and love today. The founders were influenced by English landscape designer Thomas Whately's writings, and their goal was to establish a landscape space with beautifully framed views.

Now you know that riding wasn’t riding. But there was a time, from the 1950s until recently, when visitors could ride on these roads—not on horseback, but in cars. We hope you, like us, prefer to appreciate the tranquility of Reflection Riding without horsepower.
