At the end of the trail we will go through the pasture used by our two stallions. Hopefully they  will come out and put a show on for us as they are handsome devils! From there we will head back to the arena for a water and snack break. At the end of the break, those with energy left in their tank, will had out and do the course backward mostly. The full out and back takes abut two hours or so..

If you’d like to have a tailgate lunch (indoors, but unheated) after snowshoeing, please bring your lunch. There is power in the arena.

The fine print:

We will be parking our vehicles and donning our gear inside the unheated horse arena on the ranch.

If you need help putting your snowshoes on, come closer to he 9:30 am start time and I will help you put them on.

We will be departing the arena at 10am sharp.

There are five horses in stalls in the arena; they enjoy treats like apples and carrots. If you choose to feed them, please be cautious, as they cannot distinguish between fingers and carrots.

Hikers (the snow is too deep) and dogs are not permitted.
