Our focus has been on family fun since 1960. We take great pride in accommodating everyone in the family by having something for all ages of people to enjoy in their horseback riding experience. There are pony rides for the very young and trail rides for others to experience. A trail guide on foot leads pony and rider on designated bush trails. Rides are 1/2 hour in length. Parents and or friends may accompany the walk. As children age and become more confident they can go on a regular trail ride and either control their own pony or have a lead rope from the guide's horse to the pony's halter. Trail Rides All horses are quiet and well - trained. Each ride is lead by an experienced trail guide. The ride includes basic instruction, walking and trotting throughout scenic groomed trails on the property. We also provide boarding for your equine family members.
