Discription of ride: Trailride - minimum of one hour along scenic trails, "walk only" with at least two guides.



Big "O" Trailrides provides all equipment related to the horse. You are responsible for providing any helmets, or other personal riding attire you desire.

Please be sure to dress for the weather. We are not always able to ride in the shade so sun screen and a hat is a good idea. Long pants and closed shoes required.

Always be prepared for rain. On long rides weather can change while we are far away from the trail head. You can tie raingear or a jacket in a roll behind your saddle.

Good sensible footwear is important. Smooth soles with heels work best for riding. Please avoid sneakers or thick, heavy-treaded hiking boots that can get stuck in the stirrups.

    Are you having a family reunion or event where you would like to have horses for your guests? Rent horses from Big "O" Trailrides. Call for details.
