Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need prior riding experience to book a session at Equi-Best?
No prior experience is required. The facility offers sessions for complete beginners, and staff will match you with a calm, well-trained horse appropriate for your skill level. Just let them know when you call that it's your first time.
What should I wear for a horseback riding session in Covington?
Long pants and closed-toe shoes with a small heel are the standard recommendation for any riding session. Louisiana summers are hot, so lightweight but protective clothing is a smart choice, and a helmet is typically provided or required on-site.
Is horseback riding in this area available year-round?
Yes, the mild Louisiana climate makes riding possible throughout most of the year. Summer heat and humidity are factors, so early morning sessions are often the most comfortable during June through August.
Are children allowed to ride at Equi-Best Equestrian Center?
Children are generally welcome at equestrian facilities in the Covington area, though minimum age and weight requirements vary by location. It's best to call ahead and confirm the specific requirements for younger riders.
How long does a typical horseback riding session last?
Most introductory sessions run between 30 and 60 minutes, including time for safety orientation and horse introduction. Longer sessions or lessons can often be arranged with advance notice.
Is the Covington area good for trail riding, or is it mostly arena riding?
St. Tammany Parish has a mix of both. The region's flat, wooded terrain and network of rural roads and trails make it well-suited for outdoor riding. Specific trail access depends on the facility's property and setup.
