Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE HORSES

Ride Majestic Draft Horses

The operation uses gentle draft horses—large, steady mounts that make a relaxed, approachable riding experience suitable for riders who want a calm, western-style outing.

THE RIDE

Private Two‑Hour Western Trail

Rides are run as private two-hour outings, limited to small groups so the pace stays unhurried and the experience intimate.

THE AFTER-RIDE

Decorated Table and Barrel Fire

After the ride you can opt for a romantic western table and barrel fire setup; guests bring their own food and drinks to complete the experience.

What the day feels like

What the experience feels like

The outing is deliberately slow and social: a private, two-hour trail ride on draft horses followed, if you choose, by a short ritual of warm light and a decorated table where you can unwind with food and drinks you’ve brought yourself.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this trip suits — and who should look elsewhere.

1
Couples seeking a romantic outingA strong match if you want a quiet, private ride followed by an intimate, Western‑styled table and barrel fire; the operator offers a decorated table option for an additional fee and asks that guests bring their own food and drinks.
2
Families with older childrenSuitable for families so long as children meet the operator’s age and waiver requirements—minors must have parental liability waivers and there are rules about solo riding and double‑riding.
3
Solo riders and small groupsDesigned for small private groups (minimum one rider, maximum five); pricing and deposits are per person and group size is limited to keep rides intimate.
4
Travelers needing accessibility accommodationsNot recommended: the operator states the program is not adapted for special‑needs individuals and cannot accommodate those requirements.
