HORSEBACK RIDES

OPEN YEAR ROUND!

Come enjoy an afternoon riding through the Shenandoah mountains with cool shaded trees, crossing a creek and riding alongside a waterfall. When riding at the ranch, guests enjoy the tranquil setting of the woods, often spotting wildlife such as bears, turkeys, deer or raccoons. Our horses are fitted for beginner riders and we have options for all ages. Rides take off directly from the ranch and follow our trail into the beautiful national forest.

Prices of rides vary from $30 - $275 per rider and are subject to change without notice. ​
