Bridle Ranch has a variety of Individual Experiences designed to get you riding confidently for a one-time ride in an arena. These are great for dates, small groups, and anyone who wants the experience of controlling your own horse in a very safe environment.
(Riders ages 3-6 will be led around the arena, as will anyone who is nervous about controlling their own horse.)
Do we wear helmets during Individual Experiences?
- We always wear helmets when on horseback! We rent helmets at $1/ride.
Will I get to trot or canter during my experience?
- Mostly, Individual Experiences are ridden at a walk, which allows riders to build a lot of confidence. However, for the Combat Games and Western Games experiences, confident riders may be led at a trot upon request and at the discretion of the instructor.
How many people can come for Individual Experiences?
- At this point, we can accommodate 3 riders at a time.
When should I schedule my experience?
- We have a pretty busy schedule, so we recommend calling or emailing at least a week in advance. The earlier you schedule your ride time, the more likely you are to get the time you want. We can sometimes accommodate you with less than a week's notice, but in order to do so, we will charge an extra $10 per person.
What times are available for Individual Experiences?
- We have a few times specifically set aside for Individual experiences, generally in the early afternoon or late evening. Also, whenever we have spots that open up during our weekly lesson schedule, those slots are available for Individual Experiences.
