Trail Rides

SEMI-PRIVATE GUIDED HORSEBACK RIDES ARE CLOSED FOR THE SEASON – SEE YOU SUMMER 2024!

WHAT TO EXPECT

Our experienced wranglers and trail-wise horses will take you on a ride through high mountain forests and upland meadows. Enjoy the local flora and fauna of the area, including quaking aspen, willows, pines and fir, wildflowers, mule deer, chickadees, red-tail hawks and more. Take a break from the electronic world – the only communication devices needed are the reins guiding your horse.

For private trail rides, be sure to reserve for up to four people in a group. The max group is (4) with one wrangler per group. Trail riders must be at least 10 years old and weigh under 180 pounds.* These are scenic walking rides in Western saddles and are offered upon availability.

*If rider exceeds weight limit for their trail ride, staff reserve the right to refuse service.

PROPER ATTIRE

Long pants and boots or closed-toe shoes are required for all rides, including pony rides. Hiking boots are not permitted as they tend to get caught in the stirrups. Wear sensible clothing that you don’t mind getting a little dusty. Sunscreen and mosquito repellent are recommended.

HELMETS

Helmets are mandatory for all riders. Riders may bring their own certified riding helmet if they wish.

CANCELLATIONS

Cancellations must be made 24 hours in advance for a refund, and a $30 cancellation fee will apply. To cancel, email equestrian@tahoedonner.com.
