Wagonette: For those who want to go along with their group on the trail but are unable to ride, we offer a horse-drawn wagonette. This is a small wagon that is pulled by one of our draft horses and comfortably seats 2 adults with small children. The wagonette is an excellent choice for parents with infants and the elderly. The wagonette with driver is available by phone appointment only and may be added to almost any 1 hour general horseback ride. Price is $30 per person; children under 2 are free of charge with paying adult.

Riding lessons are 1 hour long and are one-on-one with a qualified instructor. We tailor the instruction to meet your specific riding goals. Price is $45. Riding lessons are by phone appointment only and are typically available at the beginning and end of the day. If you have 2 or more who would like to do a lesson with the same instructor, cost is $45 for the first person and $35 for each additional.

Ages 1-2:
Children ages 1-2 years old may ride double in the saddle with an adult or one of our staff. This is a general guideline and is based on a number of factors including the size and weight of the child and adult.
A child riding double is $10 and is limited to children ages 1-2.
A child riding double is $10 and is limited to children ages 1-2.
Ages 3 and up:
Children 3 years and older must ride on their own horse or pony. For those that are too young or unable to control their own horse (generally 7 years old and younger), we will control the horse for them by attaching a rope to their horse and leading them along the trail. All they have to do is sit and enjoy the ride.
Many parents are hesitant to let their small children ride on their own horse or pony being led, but this is the safest and most enjoyable way for the children to ride.
