TRAIL RIDING

Trail Riding and MORE!

Horseback Adventures

Trail Riding for individuals, couples, or small family groups on well trained gentle horses.

Private Horse Tours, your family friends, and small groups. Never a "every ride the same, head to tail ride".

MEADOW RIDE $50/person

The Meadow is a good starting point for families with small children. This ride is adaptable and safe for even the smallest child. This ride is a stroll through the rolling meadows and is ridden at a walk, with time to stop for photos and grass treats for the horses. Around 1 hour of riding with pre-ride lesson. There is no age limit. All ages can ride, with the smallest riders hand led by an experienced walker. ( Parents and children ride separate horses.)

FOUR SEASONS TRAIL RIDE $65/person

Enjoyable any time of the year. This trail ride is a scenic cruise through the rolling meadows and gentle wooded hillsides. No steep drops or difficult hill climbs. Perfect for all ages and experience levels, and those looking to slow down, relax, and enjoy some horse time. Approx. 1 hour of riding time, plus the mini lesson.

HILLTOPS AND HOLLERS $75/person

Great first time ride. This ride is adaptable and variable, depending on your personal choice of meadows, hilltops, or wooded hillsides. We start out with a lesson of introduction with your horse and then go ride SUM HILLS and HOLLERS! This ride is suitable for beginners or the experienced and lasts about 1-1/2 hours, including the mini lesson. The pace and steepness of the hillsides is up to your preference.

(What is a Holler? A small rising valley between 2 hills, often containing a creek.)

CAVES AND SECRET PLACES $99/person

This ride goes into the wooded hillsides and searches for rocks, caves, and waterfalls. We will ride into seldom seen forests and explore nature's secret places. This is not a beginners ride due to the extreme hillsides and creek crossings, and may not be available after heavy rains. This ride lasts about 1-1/2 hours, and is a beautiful winters day outing, or a unique adventure anytime of the year.

PONY RIDES/LESSONS FOR CHILDREN $30/session

Small children can have their own lesson and unique "horse time". Often children enjoy grooming the pony and learning how to lead, as well as ride.

YOUR EXPERIENCE AT EQUESTRIAN RIDGE WILL BE UNIQUE FROM OTHER TRAIL RIDING VENUES.

OUR HORSES ARE TRAINED TO RESPOND TO YOUR CONTROL; NOT JUST FOLLOW THE HORSE IN FRONT OF YOU !

YOU WILL BE ACTIVELY RIDING AND GUIDING YOUR MOUNT ON YOUR RIDE, AND YOU CAN CHOOSE A ROLLING MEADOW OR MORE CHALLENGING TRAILS OVER WOODED HILLSIDES. YOU DECIDE!

BECAUSE YOU WILL BE ACTIVELY IN CHARGE OF YOUR HORSE, ALL RIDERS MUST BE ABLE TO SAFELY RIDE INSIDE THE RIDING ARENA BEFORE PROCEEDING ONTO THE TRAILS.

A SEASONED PROFESSIONAL WILL BE WITH ALL TRAIL RIDES TO ASSIST, ANSWER QUESTIONS, AND OFFER HORSE ADVICE.

ADULTS APPROACHING 300 LBS ARE DIFFICULT TO CARRY FOR MOST HORSES. We will try to accommodate you.

Wanting a longer ride ?

Weather permitting.

We can extend some of our rides.

The Hilltops and Hollers Ride, Caves and Secret Places Ride, and Horsing around Ride can all be lengthened to at least 2 hours for an additional cost of $25/person. (This can be decided on the ride.)

Our terrain becomes very challenging after 2 hours or so and difficult for horse and rider.
