FOR EXPERIENCED RIDERS ONLY
Private
Endurance Rides
An update from our family to yours...
As you may know, our goal is to offer unique experiences that the public can enjoy privately with our herd while also keeping our horses at the very very top of mind.
When we started Rise & Ride, we thought endurance rides seemed like a fun idea! But as we dug deeper into understanding our horses through massage, chiropractic care, and biomechanics, we realized they need more than just love; they need us to be their best advocates.
While we worked hard to condition, feed and schedule body care for these rides.. that’s only half of the equation. We've had a few bumps along the way with riders who weren’t fully honest about their experience level.. and it’s not fair to our horses to carry riders they don't know, at gaits that require incredible trust, skill and partnership. We owe it to our horses to set up good expectations for the work they do and give them the right care, tack AND riders that help them have as many successful and happy experiences as possible.
With that, we've decided to discontinue our Endurance Rides for the public and we’re focusing on walk-only rides. It's not about questioning anyone’s riding skills as there are amazing, talented riders who come to our ranch to ride with our family! This is about putting our horses first as we know them best. This change helps us ensure the horses enjoy their jobs and stay safe with us as their family.
Thank you for your understanding and support as we make these changes. We couldn’t do it without you and your shared love for our horses. We’re excited for more improvements to give them the fullest, happy lives they deserve.
Much love from our family!

P.S - For those we’ve made friends with through endurance rides, I’m so glad we were able to meet while we did these rides and shared that time on the trails together! We are so thankful for you and your friendship
