What horseback riding is actually like

A calm horse, a slow trail and an hour where the only sound is hooves and wind in the trees.

  1. Meet at the barn and get matched with a horse for your size and experience.
  2. A wrangler shows you how to mount, hold the reins, and stop.
  3. Ride single file along the trail with a guide leading. Horses know the route.
  4. Return to the barn. You'll be a little sore tomorrow in a good way.

Bring: Long pants, Closed-toe shoes with a small heel if you have them, Sunscreen and a hat that ties. Good for: Families, first-timers, and anyone who wants scenery without effort.

How much does it cost?

Published prices here start at $5. Most operators list a few options by duration or group size; the exact menu is on each listing.
