Safety Notice

  • Please Note: While every precaution is taken to ensure your safety and well-being, please be aware that riding—like most sports—carries an inherent element of risk.

We took our Granddaughter for a pony trekking experience as a birthday surprise.  She had a wonderful afternoon; the horses were all really calm and beautifully behaved, putting everyone at ease.  Everyone was very friendly, thank you so much.  We will definitely be back.
