Happy Horses, Happy Riders
Country Trails is proud home to a herd nearly 30 seasoned lesson and trail horses. Our horses are selected for temperament and experience. We have horses gentile enough for first-time riders, as well as horses who have excelled in the show-circuit and have much to teach to our students. We love our horses, and we know you will too!
