Horseback Riding

Come to Glendorn to enjoy horseback riding and give yourself a chance to escape and reconnect with nature. You will be able to experience the beauty of  nature here on property while taking a leisurely trail ride on one of our many scenic trails. What a great way to experience the gentle hills of Glendorn and its vast forest filled with wildlife. Spotting white-tailed deer, wild turkey, and ruffed grouse are all part of the excitement while horseback riding.  
 
No riding experience is necessary as Tanya will provide the necessary instruction to help you feel comfortable and safe while riding your horse. Experienced riders will appreciate and enjoy the well-trained horse - all of our horses are calm, willing, and in excellent physical condition. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned rider, your horseback riding experience here will be one to remember. All of our trail rides are designed as “walking” rides to keep it simple and gentle on both riders and their horses. However, if you are an experienced rider and you're interested in something that requires a greater skill level, just let us know. We can customize a trail ride for you to include steeper, more rugged terrain. Even if you don't ride, you can still visit the stables and see the horses. Tanya and Dave also offer carriage rides throughout the spring, summer and fall and sleigh rides in the winter.
