About Our Horses

Our Focus

The barn at Equine Adventures revolves around the horses. Their selection, training and care are of paramount importance and consume most of our energy throughout the year so that we can offer you the best possible horseback riding experience on your Outer Banks vacation. Our main focus is on the safety of our horses and guests.
​

The Herd

Our herd is made up of many different breeds including Quarter Horses, Percherons, Appaloosas, Paints and Drafts. Some of our horses have been with us for many years and are like family members and each have their own personality. Others are new each season and we enjoy getting to know them and helping them adapt to life at the beach. 
​

Quality Care

We ensure that all of our horses get quality care, year-round. They are fed a high protein diet of quality grain and have access to hay and water 24/7. They receive regular veterinary care as needed and farrier services for their hooves every 6 weeks. Additionally, for their comfort for the season, we have a saddle fitter that individually addresses each saddle for each horse twice a year. We also schedule ride times around the coolest times of the day and the horses get to relax the rest of the time. After rides we have bath time to make sure they are all clean and cooled off making sure to wash away sweat and salt from the ride.
