Outing Highlights
Celebrate Easter on the Trail
This ride pairs a family horseback outing with an Easter atmosphere—after the mounted portion, riders regroup around a campfire to roast s'mores and spend relaxed family time.
Hilly, Uneven Trail for Confident Walkers
The route crosses hills and uneven terrain; rides are run with a guide on horseback who will assist riders as needed but the trail requires steady, independent riders—this is not a flat pony loop.
Small Group Rides Supervised by Trail Guides
Public group rides are organized with a small number of riders and supervised by trail guides; groups are structured so guides can manage the ride while families enjoy the outing together.
