Notes: Winter riding at its finest, listen to the crunch of snow under surefooted trail horses, look for wildlife on the trail, let the silence deafen you, experience a new type of riding. Our colorful herd loves attention and is always glad to go for a trail ride. Our Enchanted Forest Ride lets you feel something different, (look for the pixie houses, they are there). Take home a new memory, let the magic of the horses touch your soul.
