Bob getting a horse ready for a trail ride
There are a number of activities available for visitors at both the Anderson's facilities including:
Horse
Back Instructional Pleasure Rides
(ages 9 and up)
These rides are done using experienced, trained, friendly horses guided
by Bob or Bo Anderson. Rides are instruction based and range from 1 to
3 hours and include walking, trotting, and cantering where the terrain
allows to do so safely. We will teach you according to your existing skill
level, whether you are a seasoned rider or a beginner. Speaking of safety,
we consider it our number one priority. We strive to make your ride a
safe and enjoyable experience. We generally ride in the areas surrounding
our properties. Upon request we will bring our horses to special locations.
For 5 to 9 year old children we offer a quiet horse for parents to lead
around in a safe round pen to give kids a chance to feel the movement
of a horse and to be on a horse.
Training
& Riding Lessons
(ages 9 and up)
We provide western style riding lessons and training in groups or one-on-one.
Please call for additional information.
Stage
Coach Rides/Rental
We own a replica of a Wells Fargo Stage Coach that is available for
Stage Coach Rides & Rental. We provide rental by the hour with our
own draft horses and driver for any event you may desire. The coach
has been used in the past in weddings, parades, company functions, advertisments,
and even western movies.

Hay
Rides
Like the stage coach, hay rides are a popular way to entertain your
friends, family, or co-workers. Our wagons can hold up to 30 people
each and are drawn by 2 or 4 of our draft horses.
