Do first-time riders get instructions on riding the horse?

Yes, first-time riders will receive instructions on riding the horse through a teaching trail ride, which includes a demonstration.

Can small children ride on the same horse with an adult?

No, small children cannot ride on the same horse with an adult. However, we do have a Velcro system that fits in our saddles to keep children stable on their horses. The designated parent or our guide will lead their horse for the comfort and safety of the children. This allows for a unique experience where children can get the feel of a real ride while being supervised. Note: Prices do not vary whether a child or adult is riding.

What happens if bad weather is forecast on the day of my ride?

If there is a 30% or more chance of rain, we will check the radar to monitor the location and time of the storm. Based on this information, we will plan your ride, adjusting the time or rescheduling as necessary.

Is wearing a helmet required for riding?

Wearing a helmet is not mandatory, but we do have some helmets available for those who want to feel safer. You can also bring your own helmet from a bike or similar gear. Just ask your trail guide to get one for you.

Can I book a ride for my group?

Yes, we offer group rides for families, reunions, or parties. We can accommodate up to 10 people per group, including small children.

From one horse enthusiast to another, we bring you some fun horse-themed outdoor birthday activities your entire family and guests will love. Read On!

The Party

Any horse and nature lover knows the staple activity on a horseback riding party is —obviously— horseback riding. However, you also want to adapt it so all age groups can enjoy it. Because of that, we offer the following outdoor birthday activities and horseback riding party ideas so that everyone gets to have fun, especially the birthday person:

At-Home Riding Party:

If you don’t want to stray too far, you can bring the joy of horseback riding to your backyard. Depending on the space available, you can hire a local stable to get a few gentle horses for rides. Ensure safety measures are in place, and provide helmets for the riders. It’s an excellent opportunity for beginners and children to experience the thrill of horseback riding in a familiar and comfortable environment.

Picnic with Horse-Themed Treats:

After an exhilarating ride, or if you like horses but are not riding, you can gather your friends and family for a delightful picnic featuring horse-themed treats. Decorate the picnic area with horse banners, and set up a table with snacks like carrot sticks, apple slices, and hay-shaped cookies. You can also serve drinks in cowboy boot-shaped cups to add a whimsical touch. Don’t forget to include some non-horsey options for guests with different preferences.

Hayrack Riding:

Take the celebration to the next level with a hayrack ride, one of the best outdoor birthday ideas. It brings everyone together on the exterior. A hayrack (or hayride) pulled by a horse or tractor is a rustic and charming experience, perfect for soaking in the scenery while enjoying the company of friends and family.

Trail Horse Riding:

For those seeking a more immersive horseback riding experience, you can set on a trail ride through scenic landscapes at a local ranch, like ours at Touch Of Chrome Paints. You have the option of going on guided trail rides suitable for various skill levels. Whether you choose a wooded trail or a scenic countryside route, the adventure of exploring nature on horseback adds an extra layer of excitement to the celebration.

Horse-Themed Games and Activities:

The previous horse-themed outdoor birthday ideas are surely the main event of your party, but after that, you can keep the energy flowing with other horse-themed outdoor birthday activities and games. Here’s a few of them:

Hobbyhorse Race:

Transform your space into a racetrack and organize a spirited hobbyhorse race. Provide hobbyhorses, let participants race, and celebrate the winners with podium awards or ribbons for an added touch of excitement.

Horseshoe Toss:

Set up a horseshoe tossing area using either real or plastic horseshoes. Participants take turns aiming for a ringer around a stake, bringing a classic and rustic charm to the celebration.

Pin the Tail on the Horse:

Put a horsey spin on the classic “Pin the Tail on the Donkey” game. Blindfolded participants attempt to pin a tail on a horse poster, adding a playful and entertaining element to the party.

Horse-Themed Scavenger Hunt:

Plan a scavenger hunt with horse-themed clues guiding participants to hidden treasures. The clues can include playful references to horses, leading to a final treasure chest filled with small prizes for the winners.

Horse-Themed Coloring Station:

Set up a coloring station with horse-themed coloring sheets and crayons for a relaxing and creative option, especially for younger guests.

Feed the Horse Game:

Design a life-sized horse face cutout with a hole for the mouth. Participants toss beanbags or horseshoe-shaped rings through the mouth, scoring points for successful throws.
