Level: Slow (walk)

Cost: $40 (includes guide and post-ride refreshments)

Other: Portable toilets available. Water for horses is available, but you will have to carry it in a bucket across a large parking area, so we suggest bringing your own. All riders MUST wear ASTM/SEI-certified safety helmets. Proof of a current negative Coggins test for each horse is required.
