HORSEBACK RIDES

OPEN YEAR ROUND!

Come enjoy an afternoon riding through the Shenandoah mountains with cool shaded trees, crossing a creek and riding alongside a waterfall. When riding at the ranch, guests enjoy the tranquil setting of the woods, often spotting wildlife such as bears, turkeys, deer or raccoons. Our horses are fitted for beginner riders and we have options for all ages. Rides take off directly from the ranch and follow our trail into the beautiful national forest.

Prices of rides vary from $40 - $500 per rider and are subject to change without notice. ​

Because our horses and wranglers are prepared specifically for each scheduled ride, we do not cancel rides due to typical weather. For the safety of our guests and staff, rides may be delayed by up to 30 minutes in the event of thunderstorms or other severe weather. If conditions remain unsafe, we will determine the appropriate course of action at that time.
