Pinellas Park

Our second location is located in Pinellas Park at Helen Howarth Community Park. This ride is about 45 minutes to an hour. We ride to the park from our barn, passing a small lake, lots of horse farms, a couple of roads, and more-this ride is a fun, scenic adventure that we provide during the weekdays in the evenings.

Sign the digital waiver

For ease of use we have a digital waiver for each rider to sign and present to the instructor upon arrival.

Gear up and get riding

We do provide helmets but it is up to the riders to dress for the occasion. No open toe shoes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Being in the Florida heat, we try to do the rides during hours of the day when it isn't so hot. The earlier rides are best for the horses and us. We want our horses and customers to be happy at all times and ensure the customer's that they will feel safe and comfortable on the horses. Once we get the helmets on and everyone is up on their horses, we will adjust the stirrups to the size of the riders leg length and make sure the rider can stand up in the saddle (this helps with balance). Next we make sure you can stop the horse, be able to have the horse go when asked and be able to turn your horse left and right. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS BEFORE GOING OUT ON THE TRAILS, PLEASE ASK THE GUIDE. No question is stupid when it comes to riding a horse.
