Trail Rides In Oakville, Ontario

"There is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man."
(Winston Churchill)

The Ranch invites you to experience our one hour trial rides; suitable for any level of rider over the age of 10. This ideal family outing is at a walk-jog pace for everyone’s safety, and our friendly guides and beloved horses offer an entirely new perspective on the lovely tree-lined fields and forests that surround our farm in Oakville, Ontario.

**Please Note - Unfortunately weather does play a factor at times so keep an eye on the weather icon at the top of the page. Trails do go out rain or shine with the exception of thunder and lightning. Trail rides will be cancelled if there is a thunderstorm or if the trail footing is dangerous for our horses. If the trail footing is not great or it is too hot, please expect the trail ride to be at a walking pace. Our trails do include a jog but ONLY if the footing and weather permits! Our horses' safety and well being, along with your own, always comes first.**

What You’ll Need:

• Please arrive at The Ranch a half hour before your ride to sign in and participate in a riding demonstration. Children under the age of 18 will need a parent or legal guardian to sign them in.
• Footwear that completely covers your foot – a boot with a small heel is ideal, but running shoes are acceptable. FLIP FLOPS and SANDLES ARE NOT PERMITTED. All of our saddles have covered stirrups, so riding footwear, while preferable, is not mandatory.
• Long pants (preferably jeans), and whatever other clothing is comfortable for the weather. Winter riders please note that wind-chills can be higher at the farm, so dress warmly!
• Sun screen or bug spray depending on the time of year and time of day.
