Scenic Trail Rides

Our focus is to provide a quality riding experience - for beginer to experienced riders. Time is taken to select Horses for each individual rider, according to their riding background. Guests are invited to ride side by side and may move around within their group.

Groups are kept small (6 to 10 riders) so that guides can interact with all guests. Groups of 8 or more can be booked as a private ride. We can also accommodate large group bookings of 25 to 30 riders
