Trail Reservations are arranged primarily by email.

We book no more than 3 months out and fill up extremely fast.
Summer/Winter rides are very limited or on hold due to extreme heat in summer and winter as well as trail conditions.
Please be patient.
We only send out small groups of people because we only send horses out on the trail that we feel are safe with beginner riders or those with little to no experience.

Day of Ride, please check traffic and weather conditions -

Please arrive at least 15 minutes before your scheduled time to check in. Allow plenty of travel time! We are unable to accommodate customers arriving late. We ride if it’s drizzly. Oftentimes, it’s a last minute decision regarding potential extreme weather.
