We have large and small horses, so if you have older children or adults wanting to ride, let us know ahead of time so we can have a bigger horse available. Most of the horses we use are not super-small, but they are all older and very, very gentle and love children! Please trust our judgment when bringing your child (or yourself!) out for a special ride.
TIPS are very much appreciated, as they purchase treats for our horses for all their hard work! We have a bright green box at the arena if you'd like to donate!
Address of the farm is . There's a big blue/silver/white/black sign out by the road that's hard to miss. Please park sensibly, try not to block anyone in!
