Never ridden a horse? That’s okay! Our horses take excellent care of their riders and we look forward to giving you a great first experience. For safety reasons, we kindly ask for our riders to be older than 6 years, weigh no more than 220 pounds, and to please come dressed in jeans/pants and closed toe shoes. Our requirements are for the safety of both horse and rider. Our trails are suitable for all levels of riders, but we often encounter brush, cactus, and other elements.
