Before you book

Do I need riding experience or can a complete beginner do this trip?

Beginners are welcome. Guides match riders to suitable horses and pace, so no prior experience is required.

Is the $35/$50 price worth it versus bringing my own horse setup?

For a guided, scenic ride with a trained horse and instruction, the per-ride cost is competitive and includes the guide’s expertise; you save on horse, saddle, and trail setup.

What if I need to cancel due to weather—do I get a refund?

There is no published weather-cancellation policy listed; plan with flexible timing and confirm at booking.

Can my kids join, and is there a kid-friendly option?

Yes. Younger children can ride in family-friendly groups; free pony rides are available for children 4 and under.

Is it cash-only really, and where do I pay?

Yes, payments are cash-only; bring the required cash to finalize the ride at check-in.
