Unless you are a jockey dressed in racing silks we are not going to gallop. There may be an opportunity to trot or canter on certain trails (booked privately) if everyone is safe and secure in the saddle. Safety is our first priority!

No double riding is permitted at any time. Riding double is difficult and can be dangerous. Children 6 years old and older ride their own horse, a trail guide can lead the kiddo if they are not able to ride on their own. We have well behaved, kid safe, beginner safe horses and great guides!

What is a Private Ride?
Private rides are exclusive to your group with a trail guide. Private rides are good for riders that would like a more focused ride . If all riders are safe and secure in the saddle, a private ride opens up an opportunity to trot (jog) or canter (lope) the horses. There may be trail restrictions for riding faster than a walk. Safety is our first priority.
