Knut Torpe, the founder of Ocoee Horseride, came to the U.S. from Norway in 2015. In his home country he ran family owned horseback riding business his whole adult life. Knut’s father, Eirik Torpe, founded the rancho in 1965 welcoming visitors from all over Europe to come and horseback ride in the majestic mountains of Norway every summer. This has been Knut’s childhood growing up.

This place is incredible! The staff and Knut were phenomenal to be around. This is truly a horse trail and absolutely is a core memory. We did the one hour ride and will certainly be visiting again when we are in the area. All of the horses are beautiful and even-tempered. Definitely recommend!

My husband and I had an amazing time at Ocoee Horseride! The mountain views from the property were so beautiful. The 2 young girls who helped us out and guided us on the 1-hour property trails were so sweet & friendly, you can tell they really love their job and were happy to be out there! There were really pretty wildflowers blooming around the trails. We also met the owner, Knut, and he was very friendly as well. I would recommend this place to anyone visiting near Chattanooga (1 hour away) or the Hiwassee/Ocoee area for an affordable, fun horse ride!
