We are pleased to offer horseback trail rides for two or more hours starting at $65 for state forest trails.
Our many horses are suitable for both inexperienced and experienced riders including
school-aged children. Each ride is tailored to the interests and
abilities of our guests. Most of our rides are private. We do not take
out more than 4-5 guests in one group, and we do not mix groups of different riding levels. For your safety, rides speed is walk/trot to the least able horse and rider combination of your group.
When you make your reservation, we ask questions about your riding
experience and the weight-height of the adult riders as well as the age
and weight of any children. Our concern is the rider's safety. Most of our horses have been working for us about 5-6 years, and some
longer. You can be confident we will be able to
give you a horse that is best suited to your riding level, and your
interests.
We put the selected horses into our trailers for the 5 minute trip to the forest, and you follow in your vehicle.
The guided, private 2 hour (or+) ride is on top of the horse, in the
forest. We have the most interesting forest trails in the state. We go
through natural live oaks mixed with pine, magnolias and northern oaks,
some swampy cypress groves areas where deer browse, armadillos wander
and wild pigs root in soft areas. Nearly every ride sees some wildlife
more interesting than blue jays.
