At Silver Wind in Edmond, Oklahoma, the Valentines Day Private Trail Ride for 2 turns a simple hour on horseback into a quiet, memorable outdoor date. Located at 24413 N May Ave, Edmond, OK 73025, United States, Silver Wind runs one-hour guided rides through tree-lined trails and frequent creek crossings that feel a world away from the city. The route highlights mature hardwoods, shallow riparian runs, and open glades where birds and small mammals are often visible.
This private ride is built for intimacy: book a single horse for yourself or reserve two for a couple and enjoy up to six riders on the property at one time. Horses are gentle and saddles measure 17 inches; riders must be at least seven years old and able to mount and dismount from the platform unassisted. The stable enforces a strict 300-pound weight limit per horse and does not allow riding double. Helmets are required for riders ages seven through seventeen and are provided; adults are welcome to bring their own if preferred.
Plan to arrive early for a short safety briefing—Silver Wind asks riders to be present 15 minutes before the ride for instruction and notes in its booking policy that guests should allow up to 30 minutes to complete check-in during busy periods. Because each horse is prepared for a specific rider, refunds are only issued for inclement weather or other ranch-determined safety reasons; late arrivals or missed rides are nonrefundable.
What to bring: closed-toe shoes, long pants, sun protection, bug spray, and a water bottle. Expect a calm pace suitable for novice to intermediate riders; the route is not technical but requires basic balance and the ability to follow guide directions. Parking is available on site at the listed address.
Why book this ride? It’s an accessible way to experience Oklahoma’s horseback culture without traveling to a distant ranch—short, scenic, and easy to gift. Whether you aim for a romantic Valentine’s Day outing or a gentle introduction to trail riding, the setting’s creek crossings and tree canopies make for honest, photogenic moments. Respect the trails by staying in single file at creek crossings and packing out trash; small stewardship steps help maintain the riparian areas for wildlife and future riders.
The ride lasts approximately one hour and runs year-round subject to weather; spring and summer bring green creekbanks while late fall strips the canopy to open light across the trail. Groups run in small batches so book early for weekend or holiday dates like Valentine’s Day. Guides will match horses to rider experience, explain basic rein and seat cues, and walk portions when terrain is narrow. For a low-effort outdoor memory, this curated hour at Silver Wind delivers consistently.
