Our goal at Tranquil Woods is to get back to nature, stay active, unwind and de-stress. There is nothing like a quiet ride through this natural scenery to sooth away your stress and connect your mind, body and soul.

We love to host first time riders and experienced riders. The Tranquil Woods Trail Ride experience is great for dates, enjoying the outdoors with friends, or for a team or corporate bonding event. I started this business to share my love of horses with as many people as possible and I can’t wait to host you.

Frequently asked questions

Can't find the answer you're looking for? Reach out to our customer support team.

What happens if it rains?: While our rides are rain or shine, if there is thunder or lightning your ride will be rescheduled. Please see our trail riding policy below for additional details.
What shoes should I wear?: Closed toes shoes with at least a 1/4 inch heel are mandatory for all riders. This is to prevent your foot from sliding all the way through the stirrup and prevents your foot from getting stuck. Great examples of appropriate footwear are; Blundstones, hiking boots or rubber boots.
When should I arrive?: You should aim to arrive at least 10-15 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment time. This will give us enough time to fit all riders with an ASTM approved helmet, match you with your horse and go through a quick safety briefing.
When do you close for the season?: We don’t! Our trail rides are open all year round. Experience the trail in all four seasons!
Is there an age restriction for riders?: We take riders of all experience levels from age 7+
How should I dress for my ride?: You should always wear long pants; jeans, yoga pants, or leggings are great option. Closed toed shoes are a must! Check out our article: What Should I Wear When Going Horseback Riding?

General
Trail Horse
General is a 21 year old liver chestnut Thoroughbred gelding. General is a great-grandson of the legendary racehorse Secretariat and raced until he was 5 years old. With 35 starts and 7 wins under his belt General retired from racing and became the cool, calm and collected trail horse he is today.
Q
Trail Horse
Q is a 12 year old bay Standardbred large pony mare. She is the sweetest of girls and super quiet, except for the purring noise she makes when breathing heavily. She loves scratches on her forehead and following her teammates on the trails. She is the most patient girl around.
Raven
Trail Horse
Raven is an 18 year old black Percheron mare. She is the boss of the herd but prefers to follow rather than lead on the trails. Don’t let her size intimidate you, she is the definition of a gentle giant!
