Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need riding experience to book a trail ride at Hidden Trails?
No prior experience is required for most guided trail rides. Guides match you with a horse suited to your comfort level and walk you through basic riding cues before you head out on the trail.
What should I wear for a trail ride?
Long pants are strongly recommended to avoid rubbing from the saddle, and closed-toe shoes with a small heel are important for safety in the stirrups. Most facilities don't require you to own riding boots, but flip-flops and sandals aren't safe options.
Is there a weight limit for riders?
Most equestrian facilities do have a weight policy to ensure the horses' health and comfort, typically in the range of 200 to 250 pounds depending on the horses available. It's always a good idea to ask when you call to book so there are no surprises on arrival.
How long do trail rides usually last?
Trail rides at most Delaware facilities run anywhere from 45 minutes to two hours depending on the route and group. Shorter rides are common for beginners or younger riders, while longer options suit those who want more time in the saddle.
Can children participate in trail rides?
Many facilities welcome children, though there's often a minimum age or height requirement for safety reasons. Calling ahead lets you confirm whether the available horses and routes are appropriate for younger riders in your group.
Can I book a private ride for a special occasion?
Private guided rides are a popular option for birthdays, date outings, or small group events. It's best to book these in advance, especially on weekends, since private slots fill quickly at smaller facilities.
