- My wife , Teresa, and I own Saddle Valley Campground at Big South Fork. We have ridden and camped the area for over 15 years, and are natives of Tennessee. We rode all over Tennessee for years, and bought Saddle Valley 6 years ago. We enjoy show casing the Big South Fork area, and love meeting people from all over the country.

I'd love to go on the Charit Creek ride but just am not able to right now. This and the October ride both sound like wonderful trips. I will keep your website and am looking forward to riding with you in the future.

Judi West said… - I purchased my first horse three months ago - she is wonderful (and very in expensive) QH - the second horse I just bought needs work, but also was very in expensive for a saddle gated horse - I rode her and she was very fast - her gate was smooth.
