Details and Prices 2013


We offer four different packages for you to choose from. The packages are setup for different size parties. Depending on how many children you plan on attending and how long you want them to be able to be on a horse will determine which package is right for you.
  1. Party Package #1
    1. One horse saddled up. One child will ride at a time and will be led around the pasture. This works well for five or six children attending. Time for presents to be opened, and cake or snacks that you provide is included and will be done after riding time.
    2. $125 per hour – $15.00 each additional child
  2. Party Package #2
    1. Two horses saddled up. This allows for two children to be led around the pasture at a time. If you have more than eight children attending, this package will work best. Time for presents to be opened, and cake or snacks that you provide is included and will be done after riding time.
    2. $175 per hour - $ 15.00 each additional child
  3. Party Package #3
