The ride is built around sections of open country that invite sustained trotting and cantering — the core of the Need for Speed experience.

Adrenaline for confident riders
Designed for seasoned riders who want pace and excitement, the ride emphasizes speed and fun while guided by staff who know the horses and the terrain.
