Sorry, No Trail Rides.
We ride on our own property, in our indoor arena and in pastures
We cater to younger or beginner riders. Kids mostly. Adults who want to ride on trails should try Shenandoah.
We try to keep things slow and controlled here. Very Slow and Safe.
Kids need to overcome their fears, we help with that.

Kayaks
Guests in our apartment may borrow our two kayaks for no added charge. We have them on wheel-barrows that you can wheel to the river nearby.
Hay Ride
We have an old tractor and can pull up to 10 people on a 45 min hayride for $150 for 6-10 people or $100 for 5 or less. We go to the bottom of Chestnut Mtn. through beautiful scenery along the river. Stretch your legs on the pier at the turnaround point. We leave one hour before sunset so you can watch the changing colors in the sky as we ride along the river.
Campfire Cookout
Watch the sun set over the Mighty Mississippi while gathered around a roaring bonfire or a family sized fire pit. Roast hot dogs and marshmallows. We provide the dogs, chips, marshmallows, and roasting sticks. Ask Roger to tell you one of his famous stories. Bring your guitar or harmonica. $15 per person for two hours. This is a great way to end a hay ride.
Liability Release
To go into horse enclosures or borrow the bikes/kayaks we require a signed liability release: Horse Activity, Boating, and Bicycling Liability Release Form

If you are an animal lover this is a place you will feel comfortable. We don't allow dogs to come unless we pre-approve them. Canine guests must be well socialized and friendly with other dogs and people.
We have seven beautiful horses. Our herd has been together for over 10 years so they all know their place and they are all very comfortable here.
We just added to our merry menagerie a baby kitten named Flo (born approx 6/15/20), and a baby miniature pig.
We don't do trail rides.

We have a very large indoor riding arena, an outdoor dressage area and pastures. There are wilderness areas a short distance from our facility as well. We do not currently provide trail rides on horseback for beginners. Please don't enter any horse enclosures unless liability release has been signed by all adults and guardians have signed for children, and you have express permission, each time you enter a horse enclosure, from one of the Wranglers (Roger and Sabina). You are welcome to enjoy the beauty of these majestic animals as you enjoy your stay in our comfortale apartments.
Our new miniature pig, Ferkelchen, was born on 8/7/20 and is expected to grow to about 45 lbs. We plan to raise her like a dog. Seen here at 10 days old with our guinnea pig.
