At Sugarlands Stables, our trail rides are tailored to cater to both beginners and seasoned riders. We take pride in our selection of horses, chosen for their calm temperament, athletic ability, and eagerness to please. Riders are carefully matched with horses based on their experience and skill levels. Before embarking on the trail, we provide a comprehensive orientation to ensure riders feel comfortable and confident with their horses. Expect to spend an enjoyable 1 to 2 hours, depending on the chosen ride’s length, including sign-in, orientation, horse familiarization, mounting up, and the trail ride itself.

Explore a hidden gem of the national park that most visitors rarely see with our guided trail rides. To maintain a personalized touch, we limit each group to a maximum of 9 riders per guide.

Safety is paramount, and all riders are provided with safety helmets free of charge.
