About This Adventure
About
One or two nights of primitive camping that includes tents, sleeping bags, camp chairs, portable primitive showers, 1 lunch, 1 dinner, 1 breakfast, and about 12 hours of horseback riding. A typical trip starts with about a 3-6 hour ride through the trails. stopping for a picnic, and then off to the campsite. The tents will already be set up with dinner likely waiting. If you have a favorite beverage in mind, feel free to bring it, but please be responsible and respectful. If the moon is out and you are willing, a moonlit ride is really something to experience. The next morning, if you can still walk, grab your horse and have a little pre-breakfast ride. Back at the campsite, enjoy some coffee and breakfast, then get back on your horse for one final ride through the woods and back to the barn.
Of course, the length of rides can be tailored to your needs and if at any time you don't feel like you can sit in the saddle one more second, we can come get you and bring you back to civilization.
One of the campsites is maintained by the state and has a clean port-a-potty on site.
