About
This is a nature lover's paradise. Eagle, osprey and hawk sightings are a common occurrence and on occasion, white tailed deer. Our knowledgeable guide will take you through one of the prettiest hammocks of ancient live oaks around, which opens up to the palm tree lined floodplains of Lake Jesup. In the late summer, the entire area is painted yellow when the wild sunflowers bloom. It is a picture-perfect opportunity.
There is plenty of time to ask questions and get to know your horse before the ride. We want everyone to feel completely confident on the trail, so we'll help you out with riding tips and pointers before we head out. You'll know exactly what to do and how to handle your horse. There will also be time after your ride to take pictures and feed your horse a few treats.
