About

Our private rides are perfect for anyone looking for a more intimate or specific horseback riding experience. Whether you’re an experienced rider looking for a bit more of a challenge, a novice who'd like to learn one on one and build confidence, or a couple looking for a romantic time. We can customize your private ride to fit your needs as we navigate through the canopied forest and meadows.

• Minimal elevation gain

• Age requirement: 8 years (no double riding)

• 2 person minimum.

• We have strict weight restrictions based on height to ensure safety and comfort of our guests and horses. (Please see our chart in frequently asked questions.) We reserve the right to check weight at check in.

When making plans or scheduling a taxi for after your ride, add 45 minutes beyond the listed duration of your ride. Example, 2 hour ride at 11:30 will not be back to the barn at 1:30, rather 2:00 - 2:15. This takes into account the time for waivers, safety talk/demonstration, saddle adjustments and pictures.

For riders wanting to go faster

Due to the increased safety risks and liability when going faster, everyone on the ride must be an experienced horseback rider. Experienced riders are: (at a minimum)

• Riders who have ridden consistently (more than 20 times a year), with more than 50 rides total.
• Have experience going faster and can maintain horse control and an independent seat at a trot and a canter.

**An independent seat consists of:

• Not bouncing in the saddle while trotting and maintaining a 2 point seat while cantering.
• Feet stay in the stirrups with heels down.
• Rider is balanced and relaxed and does not resort to grabbing the saddle horn or pulling back on the reins to help them balance.

If everyone on the private ride falls into the advanced rider category and is physically fit, we do a short riding test for each rider to verify their skill level.
