We will be offering for the first time during our 2011 trail riding season a Gaited Horse Trail Ride. This trail ride will be offered for those guests of ours who are 16 years or older and have some horse riding experience. Our gaited horse experience will be a smaller intimate trail ride offered with gaited only horses. For those who have never ridden a gaited horse, you are in for a real treat. Gaited horses are said to be the most comfortable horse to ride due to their smooth gait. A gaited horse does not trot they more or less shuffle. Gaited horse naturally walk fast and when they “gait” there is NO bouncing for the rider. We will be offering a 3.3 mile ride on these gaited horse which will last approximately 1 hour. The cost will be $35 per rider. If you are interested in booking this experience you must mention “the gaited horse experience” when making your reservation. Due to the fast pace of this ride, this experience is not suitable for children.

**The 2.3 Mile trail ride, formerly know as the
1 Hour Guided Trail Ride, $22 for an approximate hour

**The 3.3 Mile trail ride, formerly know as the 1 and ½ hour Guided Trail Ride, $30 for an approximate hour and a half

**The 5.8 Mile trail ride, formerly know as the
2 Hour Guided Trail Ride, $40 for an approximate two hours

And No the Two Hour doesn't go around the One Hour trail Twice. We take you farther into the park on a different trail.

NEW TRAIL OPTION: This used to be called our ADVANCED Trail Ride. Our standard 2.3 mile, 3.3 mile, and 5.8 mile trails will now be offered with the “quick pace” option. For an additional $4 per person we will guarantee that you will be able to pick up the pace, trot. This option was only offered on our standard 3 mile trail in the past but is now available for all our rides. When booking your reservation please mention you would like to make your ride “quick pace”.

**Why the Change in wording? Our trail times are approximate. Depending on the pace the horses set, the obstacles that come up while riding, and mother nature, our trail times fluxuate.

PLEASE... WHEN MAKING YOUR RESERVATION YOU MUST INDICATE WHICH RIDE YOU ARE INTERESTED IN. IF NO INDICATIONS ARE MADE WE WILL ASSUME YOU WISH TO HAVE THE STANDARD 2.3 mile RIDE.

SAFETY is NUMBER ONE at the Rockin'P Ranch! Even though we have AWESOME guides who are there for your safety (and to make sure you have a good time!), we also give riders "safety tips" verbally and in writing before each ride.

Cancellation or Changes - It is EXTREMELY important that you call us as soon as you know you need to cancel OR if you know you will have less riders than you reserved. If you do not call us, we could be turning persons away unnecessarily. We do have the option of charging a "no show" fee but that is NOT our preference.

HORSE CARE OVERVIEW

(Minimum 5 persons: Lasts 30-40 minutes) This is very popular. It's a great opportunity for young persons such as Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, Schools, Churches, and other Youth Organizations to learn more about horses . An employee or volunteer will educate them on basic horse care and horse handling. Topics include feeding, grooming, saddling, mounting, how to use reins and stirrups, etc. There's also some optional "hands on" (kids love to help groom). Of course our staff's "assistant" is a horse! Additionally, for Girl Scouts, it will help you earn a badge. Reservations are required and could be limited due to staff availability. Cost is $5 per person or $3 per person if you are also trail riding the same day!

Custom Group Packages (for ALL ages!) are Available (Min. 5 persons)

We can arrange an outing that would include something for everyone! Choose from Pony-on-Lead (for our young Buck-a-Roos) and/or Hayrack Ride and/or Horse Care Overview and/or Trail Ride (must be age 8 or older). Have a snack or lunch/dinner in the Pavilion! How about a Weiner Roast? Let us help you plan a memorable field trip/outing for your group. Call for more details and costs.
