No prior experience is needed. Trail rides here are designed to accommodate beginners, and guides will walk you through the basics before you head out. Horses used for trail rides are typically calm and well-practiced with new riders.
Are there age or weight restrictions for riders?

How long do trail rides usually last?

What should I wear for a trail ride in Georgia?

Southeast Georgia's relatively mild winters make it possible to ride most of the year, though summer months can get hot and humid. Early morning rides in summer and fall and winter rides tend to be the most comfortable.
