If it is raining or there is a threat of lightening, we don't ride.

 Your ride will last about 1 1/2 hours from the time we leave the barn and includes a safety briefing and warm up.  Then we head out on the ranch where we ride through open fields and woodlands, pass by the stock pond where we often see ducks and geese, and take in the views of the surrounding area from the windmill at the top of the hill. The terrain is relatively flat.

Our Horses
We maintain a string of  ranch geldings on which can accommodate beginning to advanced riders. We match each rider to a horse depending on the rider's age, size and riding experience. Our horses are working ranch horses and are not "nose to tail" trail mounts.

No unaccompanied riding is permitted.

All riders must demonstrate the ability to stop, turn and move forward at will before being taken out to the open areas of the Farm.
We cannot take riders with physical or mental disabilities out on the ranch.

Unruly, unsafe or disrespectful behavior will result in the immediate termination of a ride.
