What do I bring for a lesson / trail ride?

For a lesson or trail ride you want to make sure to wear long pants (jeans are best) and closed toed shoes a boot with a small heel is preferable (sneakers are fine). NO flip flops, high heals, Crocs, etc. Additionally you can print out our riding release form under the forms tab and fill it out ahead of time if you like (or we have copies available at the farm).

How do I book a lesson or trail ride?

We do not book lessons or trail rides earlier than the morning of. The best way to ensure you get an appointment on the day that you want is to call early in the morning on the day that you would like to come. We start answering the phones around 8:30 am. If we do not answer the phone please leave a message and we will get back to you. Remember we are a working horse farm so it is not always possible for us to get to the phone or return calls immediately. 

Do I need experience to go on a trail ride?

No you don't need any experience! We take out first time riders on the trails all the time.

Can more than one person ride the same horse?

For safety reason and via our insurance we DO NOT allow two people to ride the same horse. We make no exceptions to this policy.

Do you have trail rides for advanced riders?

Yes. We do offer trail rides that are more geared to the experienced equestrian. But, please note that we gear our trail rides to the least experienced of the group. That means that if you are a seasoned rider but the person you come with is a beginner we will be gearing the ride to a beginner level. If you are a seasoned rider and would like to go on a trail ride in which we will do WTC, please let us know when you call that you are looking to do a more experienced trail ride as we only allow certain trail guides to take out these rides and we want to ensure that we are able to meet  your needs. 


Note: For your own safety, what is done on a trail ride will always be up to our seasoned trail guides discretion. If they do not feel comfortable with your level of riding then safety MUST come first. You are always welcome to come back for some lesson to raise your level of riding.

Are helmets required and do you provide them?

Helmets are required for anyone under the age of 18. Helmets are STRONGLY RECOMMENDED for all riders. We have helmets available for our customers. All helmets are sanitized after each use. If you would like to bring your own helmet it must be ASTM certified within the past 5 years via our insurance. Our staff will check your helmet when you arrive to make sure it is acceptable.

What are lesson blocks?

Lesson blocks are a way for you to save money if you plan on coming to take more than one lesson. A lesson block is paid for all at once. If you buy a lesson block you pay for 7 lessons and get 8.
