Horses are classified as one of the most empathetic animals. Horses have the ability to understand and relate to energy. They are constantly in the moment and quite grounded. We know they make us feel better! Experience the majesty of these creatures on a horseback ride through the hills and valleys of beautiful Yellowwood State Forest with us! We are a family owned and operated company that has been offering horseback riding experiences here in Brown County for 51 years.

Whether you are a greenhorn or an experienced rider, we have a horse that will suit your needs. We offer walk, trot, and cantering rides which you won’t find at many stables.

Excellent Family Fun!
Great experience with the staff! They are very knowledgeable about their herd and what your ability level is and pairing you with the correct horse. We are looking forward to coming back with our 5 year old!

Great Place!
I booked a ride for a work outing will two other employees, one of which had never even seen a horse in person. We were made very comfortable with how to handle the horses and we had a great ride!
