Half and Half Ride:
Perfect for Beginners
If you’re just getting started or want a gentle introduction to riding, our Half and Half Ride is the perfect choice. This session includes:
- 30 minutes of personalized training with one of our experienced instructors
- 30 minutes on the trail, putting your new skills to use in a safe, guided ride
This option is ideal for kids, families, or anyone looking to build confidence in the saddle.

Then, we’ll head out on a relaxed ride where you can enjoy the scenery and get to know your horse.
This is one of our most popular horse riding services, and for good reason — it combines education, adventure, and fun all in one hour.
