Most of our trail riding ventures do require participants to bring their own horse. However, some ranches or destinations do offer horses for rent. If you’re interested in a specific ride, we encourage you to reach out to us directly, and we’ll be happy to let you know if horse rentals are available at that location.
As far as experience level goes, it’s best for riders to have some experience before joining one of our rides. Our typical schedule includes riding about three hours each day on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, which can be challenging for a beginner. Additionally, rental horses, if available, may be more difficult to manage within a group of unfamiliar horses.
For inexperienced riders, we recommend taking lessons or going on shorter, supervised rides before joining us to ensure you feel confident and can fully enjoy the experience. We want everyone to have a safe and memorable time out on the trails!
