Come visit us!
We offer unique on-site experiences of all kinds, including hand-led horseback rides for kids and adults, on-site carriage, wagon, or Meadowbrook rides, and driving lessons for beginners. We also offer appointments for meet and greets if you just want to pet and brush the horses. Maybe you've heard of "cow cuddling" but we offer "horse hugging" at a much much lower rate! Just a short visit is sure to be therapeutic and brighten any day. Our base fee for visits is $30 for up to an hour. Additional fees apply for on-site carriage or wagon rides, and for more than four visitors in a group. Additional fees may also apply for other special requests.

Horse Driving Lessons
Horse Driving Lessons
We offer on-site horse driving basics, lessons for beginners by appointment. We will teach you the parts and proper fit of the harness, how to harness and hitch up, and how to handle the horse and horse-drawn vehicle. These can be a one day crash-course for those who are just curious about the process, or a weekend, or week-long experience for more in-depth learning and retention. This is a one-on-one personalized experience catered to your preference.
Come experience the joy of working with these wonderful companions. Our horses are highly trained experts, great for your first-time driving experience.
Learn the parts and proper fit of the harness as well as how to harness and hitch the horse. Our Meadowbrook or wagon are both great beginner vehicles, and offer two different driving experiences.
