My horses are healthy, safe, and professionally trained for riding trails. They have been carefully selected for our horseback riding program, based on stringent criteria. They are calm, sweet, strong, healthy, and beautiful. Many of them double as my show horses during show season, and riding trails keeps them physically fit and mentally happy. I believe in keeping them up to the highest of standards, and they are provided a comfortable, happy lifestyle.
Only high quality western saddles and orthopedic saddle pads are used because they are healthier for the horse's back, and more comfortable for the rider. A selection of approved safety helmets is provided, and I encourage their use. Helmets are mandatory for anyone under 18.
We are now offering riding for children ages 6 and up. We have several child-safe horses, and a safe, enclosed riding area. Youngsters are started out on a lead-line, and when they feel secure, they can progress to riding on their own.
We also offer lessons for children,beginners and intermediate riders. We start everyone off in a western saddle, but intermediate riders can switch to english hunt seat or saddleseat. We are always happy to give trail riding lessons too. Call for more details and pricing packages--or visit our pricing page for more information on Saturday morning classes.
