All of the horses at Equine Adventures are beginner friendly. Most of our riders have little to no riding experience. We have horses to accommodate all riding levels. We do our best to match you with a horse based on what you tell us your riding ability. Please do not over estimate your ability when making reservations. We want everyone to have a fun ride!

If any rider has a questionable medical issue PLEASE check with your physician.
Riders with any concerns (physical, mental, emotional) should let us know before the ride so the issues can be addressed. We would like to make it possible for everyone to ride and we are willing to go the extra mile to make it happen.
