Almost everyone wants to take a horseback ride. There is something peaceful about riding a strong horse through the woods. It takes us back to nature, and back to a time when horseback riding was one of the only means of transportation.
For those who are hesitant to actually be on the horse, we offer horse drawn trolley and wagonette rides.
For those that own their own horses, we are a great place for you and your special horse to explore.
