For our Trail Rides, you do not need riding experience. We have a horse for almost anyone, from gentle and half asleep to spunky and energetic. Just let us know how often you have ridden and we’ll match you up accordingly.
For our Running Rides, they are strictly for more advanced riders or those who are certain of their physical abilities to hang on to a swiftly moving horse.

Tennis shoes or hiking boots, and of course, jeans. Shorts tend to leave you with a little rubbed spot on your legs after an hour of riding. If you show up in flip flops we will secretly laugh at you.

Good question! We would suggest that if you have never ridden a horse, or haven’t ridden in a few years, to stick with the easy goin’ walk/trot speed. Basically 1st and 2nd gear. The cantering ride (running) is a slightly different trail. Throughout the hour, you will have the chance to canter several times. It isn’t running through the woods the entire time, as some folks tend to wonder. The average canter is between 10-17 mph depending on the horse.

We will be giving FAMILIES (this means 5+ people living in your house, not in-laws and cousins) of 5 or more a 10% discount. This is something you will have to ask for at the barn. Note: Groups of friends do not receive this discount, only families!

Yes, we will supply a cell phone saddlebag but please put cell phones on vibrate and secure those cameras. Anything in your back pocket will weasel its way out, so leave your wallets in the car once you pay.
