Awesome ride! The place was organized, the horses were very well trained, and the staff was pleasant. The 1 hour ride was mostly shaded and we crossed a creek twice which was a big highlight! We had 6 of us ranging from 7-60 and all loved it.

The staff was friendly and helpful. It's a fun experience regardless of experience. A number of our group had never ridden a horse and there was lots of laughter. The ride itself is about an hour through a beautiful, hilly, tree-covered trail that crosses a wide rocky creek twice.

The young ladies that were our trail guides were exceptional. Great ride through the woods. Crossed a creek twice. Definitely worth every penny for the experience.

Very nice place for horse trail rides even for the non-experienced riders. The guides are very attentive to everyone’s needs. This is the best trail ride I’ve been on. The creek was fun and the scenery was breathtaking. I favor the fall …

Is there a weight limit for riding the horses

Do you have to have experience riding horses?

No experience needed. Just the physical ability to stay in the saddle and the discipline to stay calm.

Can u do anything other than walking. Maybe like trotting?

Alin Ortega | Mar 14, 2021
Ricquel Tennis | Mar 15, 2021

The horses are pretty much like any other trail ride horses. One speed. The terrain is pretty rocky and hilly for a lot of the trail, too. Plus you're following a guide. They don't tell you NOT to trot. But I don't think you'd get much of a chance.

What is the latest time to go riding?

Jessyca VanBlaricom | Mar 14, 2021
Ricquel Tennis | Mar 15, 2021

Last Saturday the latest they had was 2:30. The ride took an hour.

Can you take your own horse and ride the trails

Alexus James | Mar 14, 2020
Gail Secunda | Mar 15, 2020

I don't think so. Besides, the trail is so rocky that I wouldn't choose to take my own horse there.

Horses were great. Tell them up front and they will match the perfect horse for you. I would think you would want to walk it.

My husband and I love riding, we’ve gone to two places so far, one place we were allowed to go faster than a walk, but the last place we visited wouldn’t allow it. Can anyone tell me if that is allowed here? Thank you!
