Nope! While we proudly celebrate the versatility of the Morgan, our trail series is a “bring-who-you-love” kind of event. All breeds, shapes, and sizes are welcome — if your horse enjoys a good wander in the woods, they’re invited. The more the merrier!

It depends on the ride, but we always try to make each outing feel a little special. You might find a hearty breakfast, a cozy lunch, hot chocolate on a chilly day, or even fun trail swag waiting for you. Every ride has its own flavor, so we encourage you to check the details for each event to see what’s included. One thing’s guaranteed: you and your horse will be well taken care of.

We strongly encourage riders to register in advance, it helps us plan food, hospitality, and any special touches for the day. That said, we know weather (and life!) can be unpredictable. If you decide to join us last minute, you’re still welcome. Early registration makes our planning easier, but spontaneous trail adventures are always embraced!

We’re planners, but even we can’t out-plan Mother Nature. If the forecast calls for rain, sleet, hurricanes, or a blustery day that just isn’t safe or fun, we’ll offer a clearly communicated “rain date” whenever possible. If a new date doesn’t work out, no worries refunds will be offered. Your safety (and enjoyment!) always comes first.
