Broken Gait Trail Rides are the memory makers on horseback -
we are the stuff of dreams.
Most of the dreams conceived in childhood do not survive
the cold transition into adulthood. If they did, we'd have way
too many firemen, movie stars, and presidential candidates.
But there is one fantasy that lingers in the hearts of kids
who grow up to become doctors, nurses, lawyers, accountants,
teachers, homemakers, laborers, salespeople, supervisors, computer tech specialists..... We all yearn to be cowboys—even
if just for a day.
The memory of your day trail ride will fill your senses with the
scents of native wildflowers and fresh clean air under a clear
blue sky, the sounds of gentle babbling brook, and the
soft whoosh of a horse's breath on your cheek. Who says dreams
can't come true? If you harbor such dreams, or see them in the
eyes of your children, you owe it to yourself to spend a day
on a Broken Gait Trail Ride.
While an all
day outing from sunrise to sunset conjure up visions of grandeur
in the wilderness, our experience shows that most people do
the best on a 2 - 3 hour adventure. Horseback riding requires muscles that many people are not
accustomed to using regularly, therefore a longer ride may
leave you a bit sore for the next few days. 4 hours
away from camp is not a fun place to be if you are tired and
sore, or if a sudden storm pops up. Therefore, a nice 2 -
3 hour horseback ride is just right - not too long and not too
short.
Most people do not want to own a horse for the occasional 2
- 3 hour trail ride, every now and then. Therefore,
leasing or renting a trail horse from Broken Gait
Trail Rides allows you to enjoy the great outdoors, without
the headaches and hassles of horse ownership.
Many people dream of enjoying the
countryside on horseback, however do not know where to begin,
or do not want the hassles or expense of Full-Time Horse
Ownership, or do not know exactly what the expenses are and
what they might be getting in to.
Horse Ownership can be very costly and very time consuming.
Therefore, many people love to be able to enjoy a nice leisurely
horseback ride every month or every few months or even once a
year, without all the other
responsibilities of horse ownership. This really is the
Better Option for many people and can be far less expensive
for the occasional rider.
Not everyone has the time, commitment, or financial
resources available to them to allow them to own their own
horse, so we take care of all that so you can enjoy horses and
riding without the fuss and expense. We work tirelessly 365
days a year in all kinds of weather so that you can enjoy our
horses when the weather conditions are more suitable for
riding.
Broken Gait Trail Rides is not responsible for loss or injury. All
riders must sign your waiver and release form prior to your scheduled ride.
