Need help.... anyone know and good riding stables in MidTN?

Hey guys and gals...

My Mom and Dad are flying in Jan 1-4 (wednesday through Sunday) and I want to try and find a good ranch/stable to take my mom to visit see some horses and maybe go for a short ride. She absolutely LOVES horses, and her life dream has been to have one.

I'd love it if I could find a place to take her. She has back problems (pretty major surgery earlier this year) and will need a box/stand or something to help her get on the horse, and once she's on she'll probably only be good for a 5-10 minute ride. Do any of you know somebody in MidTN that could help? I've called about 5 places and none have been very helpful, or even cordial. Maybe it's me?

If any of YOU have your own horse and riding area, would you be willing to let us come over for 20 minutes or so on the 2nd or 3rd? I'll be glad to pay going rates or whatever. We'd be happy to drive anywhere within an hour or so of Rutherford County.

Thanks!

Check with Edwin Warner Park here in Nashville. They have stables by the Steeplechase track off of Old Hickory Blvd. A lot of people go there to ride. I do not know if you have to bring your own or if they rent.

Good luck.
