How the stables got its unusual name
Chunky Gal Stables gained its evocative name from a Cherokee legend about a chubby maid who fell in love with a young man from another tribe. Her parents attempted to snuff the budding romance, but the determined young woman abandoned her family to follow her heart, finding her way across the mountain slopes to be with her beloved. Hence, the mountain range she traveled became known as Chunky Gal Mountain.
