Guided Trail Rides

You'll find here at True Heart Equine Enrichment, we do trail riding differently.

Instead of throwing beginners up on horses and expecting them to hang on by whatever means necessary, we empower riders to understand the mechanics of horseback riding and pursue forward progress in their equine education while having fun, regardless if they chose to come back or not (but we hope they do!). Our experienced trail guides are excellent and safe equestrians who are well trained to instruct even the most timid of rider.

Our horses have their own unique personality, and are used by students to go to competitions- so they do not just follow the horse in front of them (which, lets be honest, doesn't sound like much fun anyway!). You will be instructed how to walk on, steer, and stop before we hit the trails!

If you are looking for a fun and exciting way to ride, we let our trail riders go at the speed they are comfortable with and make sure you are always comfortable, correct, and confident during your entire ride!

What do you need to know?

Since are tours are private and are booked according to a mutual schedule, WE DO NOT OFFER REFUNDS. A credit or gift certificate may be provided should there be some reason why you did not complete your scheduled ride/ lesson. If the weather is bad you will receive a rain check to reschedule your ride.

Please do not arrive more than 10 minutes early for your ride; We may still be out on the trail with other clients or getting ready. If you do arrive early, please wait in your vehicle until your appointment start time! Your ride WILL NOT start before your reserved time.

If you are more than 15 minutes late you may forfeit some or all of your ride. Always give yourself extra time in order to get ready for the ride, check in and perhaps give yourself some time to familiarize yourself with your horse. We think it's very important for you to bond with your horse.

We start everyone off with instructions or a refresher! This can take up to 30 minutes, so if you wish to be on the trail longer, we recommend a full 2 hour ride.
ALL trail ride groups must have at least one rider over age 18 that is a parent or guardian of the children riding. No children will be allowed to go out on a trail ride by themselves, for The safety of the children and our staff and horses.
Please DO NOT arrive more than 10 minutes early for your ride; We may still be out on the trail with other clients or getting ready. If you do arrive 10 minutes early to find the location, please be respectful of the property and the staff and wait in your vehicle until your appointment time.
Plan ahead! We are a private facility and reservations are required. We do not accept walk-ins; If you don't receive a confirmation email, we are not expecting you!
When you make your reservations, make sure that the times/date work for everyone in your party.

Make sure you have the right clothing and things you want to bring with you. As a rule, you should layer your clothes. *Sandals are never acceptable around horses and you will unfortunately not be allowed to ride if you do not have closed toe and heel shoes. *

There is a weight limit of 280 lbs. Be honest, you can hurt the horse you ride if you really weigh more.
We allow riders age 5 and up. Smaller or more timid children might ride with or be led by a trail guide but will never be riding behind a parent; We have your and your child's safety in mind at all times.
Helmets: ALL MINORS (Individuals under the age of 18) MUST WEAR PROTECTIVE HEADWEAR PROVIDED BY THEE OR YOURSELF AT ALL TIMES WHILE RIDING HORSES ON THE PREMISES. Any helmet not provided by us needs be specifically for horseback riding and needs be ASTM/SEI Certified… BIKE HELMETS ARE NOT RIDING HELMETS AND ARE NOT ALLOWED FOR USE- Thank you!

Ask what the particular rules are that apply when making your reservation.

Should I tip my Trail Guide? We like to say, “If you liked your ride, kiss your horse and tip your guide!” Many people do not realize that it is customary to tip your trail ride wrangler. If you had a great time on your ride, show your appreciation. The standard is 15-20% – similar to what you would tip a waiter or waitress.
