          Very scenic trail, exploring parts of the Pacific Crest Trail with some challenges. This trail is for everyone with solid riding experience.

          Nature- Lovers Trailadventure


          Every barn has some rules on how to approach and treat horses. We have our own way, and we require all our first-time riders to follow our rules to partner up with your assigned horse. A guide will instruct/ educate you at first on the ground/ and in the saddle while presenting you with a detailed set off riding cues before you mount. All riders will work the horses short on the ground, to prepare a bond, before we allow them to mount. After you sit in the saddle all riders, practice the walk, trot, backing up, as well as rain cues, riding around cones and barrels! This process will take half an hour of your time, but more importantly, it allows riders to team up with the horses, and the horses with the riders.

          Afterward, we head out on the trail.

          Arrived on the ridge, we reached 5120 feet; the horses get a moment to relax. Riders will find some scenic, and unique photo opportunity’s viewing a desert landscape and the surrounding foothills.

          Once we hit the trailhead of the epic Pacific Crest Trail, this world-famous path leads us through an ancient forest of a mixture of Jeffrey, Ponderosa Pines, Manzanita, Oak Trees, while crossing some magical meadows.
