Grounds Access: You may arrive as early as 10:00 AM, to allow yourself plenty of time to tack and prepare for the ride. Be sure that you are able to contain your own horse during this time. There are no stalls, pens, or other publicly available containment devices. The parking location for this ride is on private property, courtesy of the Nagel family. Please be a good guest.
