About

Wind your way through the canopied forest, through a mountain meadow with wild grass and seasonal wild flowers, climb into the mountains on wide, well maintained trails. We stop to enjoy our picnic lunch in a secluded mountain top meadow with awe inspiring views of the iconic Lake Wenatchee, Dirty Face Mountain and the North Cascades.

• Suitable for intermediate to advanced riders who are physically fit and comfortable on a horse.
• Minimum: 9 years old. ** NO FIRST TIME RIDERS **
• Over 1,000 ft elevation gain on wide trails with steep sections (can be warm during July/August months).
• 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.
• 2 person minimum to book.

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.
