BYO Horse Open Trail Ride at Rolling Hills — 5.5-Hour Day Ride in Dubois, IN

Set out on an open trail ride at the Rolling Hills location in Dubois, Indiana, where the BYO Horse Open Trail Ride offers a full-day escape across working pastures, hardwood ridges, and limestone-lined hollows. This guided outing runs 5.5 hours and welcomes riders age 12 and up; groups are capped at 20 so the pace stays conversational and the lines through singletrack remain calm. Practical details matter: the meeting point is Dubois (Rolling Hills) Location - 5814 N 735E Dubois, IN 47527-9670, the schedule is listed in Eastern Time, and you can reach Shellie at 930-333-7651 with questions or last-minute coordination. The ride unfolds in southern Indiana’s mixed oak-hickory forest and grazed meadowland, a landscape shaped by limestone bedrock and shallow karst that shows up as outcrops and small sink hollows along the trails. Riders with well-trained mounts will enjoy varied footing—turf, crushed-rock service paths, and short gravel approaches—plus creek crossings and ridge viewpoints that open into the valley below. Bring a calm, acclimated horse: this is a BYO-ride, not a lesson, so basic horsemanship and trail etiquette keep the group moving safely. What makes this offering stand out is its combination of structure and freedom. It’s a guided open ride rather than a lesson or a lesson-based hack: leaders set a route and timing, but riders carry their own tack and manage their own animals. That balance attracts experienced recreational riders who want a longer, less regimented day on the trail without planning every detail. The small-group cap and rural address give the feeling of private land access without the liability questions that come with solo trailering. Expect weather to shape the day: spring green-up brings soft trails and wildflowers, summer pushes shade-seeking lines under the canopy, fall turns oaks to amber for high-contrast photos, and winters, if scheduled, mean shorter daylight and colder saddles. The operator’s cancellation policy allows rescheduling but no refunds inside 24 hours, so plan accordingly. Pack layers, a helmet, hoof boots if your horse needs them, and plenty of water for both of you. This ride works best for riders who can control their mount at a walk, trot, and simple canter, and who appreciate southern Indiana’s quiet ridgelines and the chance to ride with a small, experienced group. For directions, details, or to confirm the ET start time, call Shellie at 930-333-7651—she’s the point of contact listed for this booking. Arrive at least 30 minutes early to tack up and sign any waivers; a brief safety talk precedes departure and leaders will outline the route and passing protocol. If you trail-ride often, bring basic first-aid for both rider and horse, including a compact kit and bandage wrap for minor hoof or limb issues.
