Choose from relaxing walk only rides, walk & trot rides, and exhilarating advanced level walk, trot, & canter rides.  Each ride is approximately 45 minutes from mounting to dismounting.

Our herd consists of a mix of different breeds such as: Quarter Horses, Thoroughbreds, Appaloosas, Paints, Percherons, Clydesdales, Haflingers, Icelandics, Morgans and Arabians. 

All-Inclusive package features one FREE RIDE per person per stay. Specials and sales such as the Family One Price does not include riding.

Pony Ride

A safe introduction for future horse lovers. Free pony ride for kids age 8 and under, each day. Walk our sweetest, child-friendly ponies and make lifetime memories. Pictures will be taken by our professional photographer and available for purchase in the lobby. 

Walk Ride

Great for all levels of riders ranging from beginners to advanced. A ride through the woods that is slow enough to take in the natural beauty of the surroundings and is ideal for first time riders or anyone that wants a relaxing, comfortable ride. 

Intermediate Ride

Walking & trotting. A fun, brisk ride that requires enough experience to be in control of the horse at all times. Riders should have approximately 10 hours of active saddle and riding time and be comfortable and confident with a faster horse stride.

Advanced Ride

Walking, trotting & cantering. A fast-paced, exciting ride for experienced horseback riders that are confidant and in control of their horse at all times and should not have to hold onto the saddle for balance. Screening for safety required.
