What Makes the Adventure Ride Different

Customized to your group. Before you mount up, your guide will talk with your group about experience, comfort level, and what you’re hoping to get out of the ride. Brand-new riders get a steady, confidence-building ride. More experienced riders may have the chance to [trot / explore longer loops / work on faster riding skills].

More of the property. Two hours lets us take you farther out on the trails to [wooded paths, open fields, pond ridges, behind the scenes looks] that the 1-hour ride doesn’t reach.

Time to really connect with your horse. With more time in the saddle, riders settle in, relax, and get to know their horse. Many guests say that’s when the ride really comes alive.

Small groups, experienced guides. Every ride is led by trained Creekside Stables staff who know our horses and our trails. [Max group size: 6 riders]
