How Many Guest Per Ride
We take up to 16 Guests on Each Ride (Some Day Rides are only 5 guests). Short rides average 10-12 Guests.
Level Of Experience Needed
We take from Beginner to Experienced riders on all our rides. The terrain we ride in doesn’t allow us to do a lot of trotting or cantering, and when we do, we split the group up if there is someone not confident to do it. We also have the support cars that meet at lunch so guest can jump into that if needed.
