🌸 Mini Trail Ride Openings 🌸
4 riders maximum per group

🐴 30 Minute Rides – $15/rider
Perfect for littles, buddy riders, or anyone a little nervous. These rides stay in an open pasture with simple control.

🐴 45 Minute Rides – $20/rider
Great for beginner riders who feel a bit more confident and are ready to go down hills and into the woods.

🐴 1 Hour Rides – $25/rider
Best for riders with some experience who are confident in controlling their horse through multiple hills and wooded areas.

βΈ»

⚠️ Important Information ⚠️
β€’ Closed-toe shoes REQUIRED
β€’ Pants highly recommended
β€’ Sunscreen & bug spray encouraged

If you’re feeling scared or unsure about getting on a horse, we highly recommend booking a lesson first to help you feel safe and in control.

These are living animals with their own personalities. While they are safe, it’s important that riders listen carefully and feel confident. Horses can sense nerves, and our top priority is keeping you safe and making sure you enjoy your ride 🀍

πŸ“© Message us on Facebook or text to book!

Spots are filled first come, first served, and the first booking helps determine the ride length for that time slot.
