After an incredible 2025 ride, Best of America by Horseback is thrilled to announce our return to Caney Mountain Horse Camp in Big Flat, Arkansas! Nestled deep in the Ozark Mountains, this destination is a favorite among riders for its breathtaking scenery, welcoming atmosphere, and true backcountry beauty.

Caney Mountain offers miles of trails that wind through oak and pine forests, across rocky ridges, and alongside peaceful creeks that glisten under the autumn sun. Each ride brings new sights — panoramic overlooks, hidden valleys, and the quiet serenity that makes the Ozarks such a special place to explore on horseback.

The camp itself is designed with riders in mind, offering comfortable facilities for both you and your horse. Evenings are spent gathered around the campfire, sharing stories, laughter, and that unmistakable sense of camaraderie that comes with every Best of America by Horseback ride.
