Woodland Escape Package

Spend 3 hours with our experienced guide, exploring a wooded trail deep in the Santiam State Forest astride a new equine friend who has been selected especially for you, based on riding experience, compatibility, and wine preferences. Before you and your guide set out, you’ll receive a orientation to horses and horse-personship, which includes how to “speak” horse as well as how to control where your horse goes safely (for both you and the horse).

All our packages offer the opportunity to commemorate the day with one of the hoof-path’s hundreds of photo opportunities, as commanding thumbs stand at attention when posing in front of breathtaking views of the Cascade Mountains and Santiam Valley. Trivia about the area’s history, biology and ecology is added by your guide at no cost.

Cost per rider: $195.00 OR “Buy One, Get One Half Price” and two ride for $293

Vine Maple Bliss Package

Golden sunlight bursts through overhanging maple trees as an expert tour guide leads a cadre of up to four clip-cloppers through a weaving path of diverse foliage, magnificent meadows, clear streams, and fast-food options, imparting trivia about the route’s historical, geological, and botanical hallmarks.

Spend 4 1/2 hours on the trail, moving as quickly as the group prefers and developing a partnership with your horse-of-the-day. Photo opportunities are plentiful–from the saddle or from beside the trail–and the horses love having their pictures taken!  All packages include a pre-ride orientation to riding safely and communicating with your equine partner.

Cost per rider: $395.00 OR “Buy One, Get One Half Price” and 2 ride for $593

Ultimate Rainforest Ride Package

Spend 5 1/2 hours loping trail-bound trotters along the majestic Monument Peak trail system in the Santiam State Forest.

This package allows riders to experience the entire 12-mile trail loop, with plenty of opportunities to learn about the route’s historical, geological, and botanical hallmarks and take pictures along the way. The horses will be camera-ready and happy to have you along! All packages include an orientation to horses, equine psychology and effective human-to-horse communication techniques, as well as rider safety.

Cost per rider: $495.00 OR “Buy One Get One Half Price” and 2 ride for $743

All rides require reservations. We do offer rides several days a week so call and check if we have openings on the day you’re interested in riding. If weather conditions or other extenuating circumstances do not permit us to keep your scheduled appointment, we will reschedule your ride at no additional cost but will not be able to provide you a refund. Should you need to reschedule your reservation for a different day or time, please call us–there is no cost or penalty for reschedule requests. If you need to cancel your reservation, you must do so within 48 hours of your reserved ride; this will result in a refund of 90% of the reservation price to cover our handling costs. Cancellations received with less than 48 hours’ notice are subject to a 50% cancellation fee.
