Check the length of the ride you want beforehand. Some tours take longer than expected, so plan your day accordingly to fit in other activities.

If you're a beginner, don't hesitate to ask for more guidance. The staff is super friendly and offers great tips for first-timers, so take advantage of that!

I recommend wearing comfortable shoes and bringing a light jacket. The weather can change quickly, and you don’t want to be stuck in the rain!

I suggest packing a light snack and water. The rides can be a bit long, and having a little energy boost is always nice.

My advice is to wear good, sturdy boots. Some of the horses like to go fast, and when you're not properly dressed, it can be a bumpy ride.

I think it's best to book your lessons in advance, especially on weekends. They can get super busy, and I ended up waiting longer than expected!

My advice is to wear boots with a bit of a heel when riding. I saw someone struggle because they had sneakers on, and trust me, it's not fun getting your foot stuck in the stirrup!

If you can, arrive around 9:30 AM. The mornings are quieter, so you have more time to chat with the staff and pick the right horse for your ride

I recommend checking their website for any special offers or family deals before you go. I stumbled upon a discount for multiple rides, which saved me some cash.
