Can we go faster than a walk on our trail ride?
-
Our most sincere apologies, but NOPE! If you know horses, you know they are creatures of habit. We need our trail horses to be steady-paced and are only allowed to walk on rides.
However, for faster-paced guests, we recommend booking a private or semi-private horsemanship lesson where we can mix arena work with a trail ride or tailor to your needs/ wants. Your instructor will still have boundaries, but gear this to our guests' experience level.
Do you train horses?
-
Yes, but horses must be approved by management and we only take 1- 3 total at a time.
Can I rent/lease a horse?
-
Yes, if you are an active rider in our programs, we will offer day or monthly leases to ONLY established clients.
