A True 'Ma & Pa' Locally Owned Small Business!
At Lake Meadow you will be riding horses that 'Ma' rehabbed, trained and competed in distance events with. Many are still her current competitive partners! All of the Private trail lessons are still personally guided by 'Ma' - so you can learn about each of their rehabs, training and competition records. With the Weekend Group lessons guided by another highly experienced 'Gen Xer' Instructor, Yolanda.
Each horse in our small herd is a true member of our family, and wil live out their three decades of life with us and our closest friends. We are true stewards of the land and will never allow our herd and business to grow larger than it can support. So we'll forever remain a small stable where the happiness, health and longevity of every horse is our top priority!

Answers to Common Questions
Rider Weight limit
280lbs for the 1 & 2 hour Beginner level rides
250lbs for the 3hour Intermediate level ride
Can I Double With my Baby/Toddler
Absolutely NOT! Saddles are NOT manufactured to properly distribute the weight of more than a SINGLE rider. ANY stable that allows this is likely uninsured and not following professionally accepted safety standards. So we advise you to avoid these types of Stables. Instead, take your baby/toddler to a fully INSURED pony ride business.
Age limits
Riders must be a minimum of 5 years old to go on the trail rides
Riders 3-4 years old can be given leadline lessons in our corral
Helmets
Yes, helmets are mandatory! You may bring your own - or use one of ours
Cell phones - taking pictures and videos
We encourage our clients to take as many pics and videos as they want. We can assure you that your Guide rider will also be taking plenty of single and group pics if you wish while on the trail. We share these on our FaceBook page so that you can enjoy them!
Bringing drinks and snacks
Every saddle has two deep, big pockets for you to carry your bottled drinks, snacks and cell phones in. We encourage bringing refreshments on any ride that is 2 hours or longer.
Physical issues and Disabilities
Have no fear! We have a mounting platform to get on and off our tall horses! Our horses are all smoothly gaited - so there will be no bouncing at ALL! The perfect ride for those of us with knee, hip and back issues.
As long as you can walk up/down 4 steps with handrails unaided - you can ride! Unfortunately, we do not have a lift for those who are unable to walk.
For those with sight and mobility issues - all of our horses are trained to be safely ponied by our highly experienced Instructors. This allows those adults who don't have the ability to steer their mounts to still safely enjoy a long trail ride with their friends.
For those with intellectual challenges who have aged/grown out of therapy programs, 'Ma' was an inclusion teacher in the public schools for over ten years. She has the training to work with high functioning autistic teens/adults who are ready to take the reins and truly learn to ride independantly. We do recommend weekday private lessons to ensure one-on-one instruction.
Can You 'run' our Horses?
The short answer is NO. There are three reasons for this:
1. Our horses can gait up to 18mph - so there is no need to ever gallop.
2. Gaiting is low impact on the horses joints (like speedwalking) while galloping is high impact (like you sprinting while carrying an 80lb back pack).
3. As we are focused on the health and longevity of our horses - we will NOT allow them to be worn out on a daily basis by galloping with bouncing riders! Again, imagine trying to run with an 80lb backpack on for a dozen miles EVERY day. What would happen to YOUR body???? especially during those hot, 95*, humid sommer days?
There ARE other stables that allow this, but there's a reason they have a high turnover rate in their horses every year - while our horses stay the same for decades....
