Your trail ride will be guided by our wrangler, Tim. He has lived on the farm the last several years and has cut the trail for you. He has hand picked the horses and will match you with the perfect horse to make your ride the best it can be.
The trail will take you along Stouts Creek, through the woods and into the lanes of the farm. In the spring and fall you will be able to see the baby calves with their mothers. If you are lucky you might get a glimpse of a beaver at work or the Great Blue Heron fishing. The property is home to countless other birds, including wild turkey and the Bald Eagle, and of course, the white tail deer. If the wildlife sees you but you do not see it, you still will enjoy your ride through the countryside and be able to appreciate the beautiful wild flowers and fresh air.
