Please reserve rides as early as possible.
If your plans change, update the sheet so others may use the time.
Riding schedules are coordinated directly with the wrangler. (If you make a change please update the spreadsheet and call/text the wrangler)
Group size and ride type may affect availability.
If you are visiting with a larger group, please avoid reserving rides for everyone every day at the outset. The riding program is enjoyed by many families throughout the season — locals and visitors alike. A rough head count is often enough to begin with, leaving room for others while plans take shape.
Riding program
What is available
Lead rope rides
A first introduction to horses for younger riders, led at a comfortable pace by a member of the ranch team.
Horses have long been part of the rhythm of life at Lansdowne. Family may ride out with the wrangler or head off on their own across familiar country. Whether your first ride or your hundredth, the day tends to move a little slower from the saddle.
Trail Rides
Unhurried rides through the ranch’s open country and familiar trails.
Advanced Trail rides
For experienced riders comfortable in the saddle and looking to cover more ground at a quicker pace
Independent Rides
For confident riders familiar with horses and ranch expectations who wish to explore on their own. If you choose to ride independently, the care of your horse belongs to you — including saddling, unsaddling, grooming, and returning tack to its proper place. Independent riding still requires a reservation and a quick check in with the wrangler who will guide advise you on horse personalities, active Ranch concessions, and the secret paths of the ranch.
