Riding


Horses
We have 15 horses total of Criollo breed. All of our horses were born, raised, and trained at our ranch with much love and care. The Criollos average about 14.3 hands high and are a stocky, sturdy breed. They have a soft temperament and are easy to ride, making them a great companion for less experienced riders, but their intelligence and endurance also makes them great for the cowboys and more experienced riders.

Riding
Mainly walking (4-6 hours). For very experienced riders we can offer faster paces and cattle work.
