It’s a party of three for your private horseback riding lessons in the Backcountry: you, our horse, and an instructor. The low-distraction environment paired with individual attention will propel your horsemanship and riding skills at a more rapid pace during this one hour lesson. Riders can choose between Western, English, and trail lessons depending on your interest.
