On this incredibly diverse ride, you'll have opportunities to learn more about our horses and how they respond. This is an instructional ride where we venture into the very heart of little downtown Lockhart, where we can mosey the square and find a bite to eat at one of the many quaint little eateries.

Consider this your day trip to the quaint town of Lockhart and look at this flex time as an opportunity to visit the stores on the square.
