What to wear
Closed-toe shoes are a must, long pants are a good idea. We provide helmets. Riders under 18 are required to wear one. We keep sunscreen and bug spray on hand if you need them.
If it rains
We provide ponchos and ride in a light rain. If there's lightning within a 10 mile radius we cannot ride, so we will do our best to wait it out. Please book a time when you have some flexibility. If we do have to call it, you can reschedule or take a refund.
Changing plans
Your deposit is refundable if you cancel up to 48 hours before your ride time.
About these dates
Some flowers usually open before September 25, and some hang on past October 18. Based on previous years, these dates are usually when they are at their fullest.
Nature doesn't check our calendar, though. A hurricane or a heavy week of rain can damage the field or flood the trail. We don't expect it this year, but it happens, and you should know it is a possibility before you book.
What guests say
The wild swamp sunflowers of Lake Jessup were at their peak today and I felt so lucky to see them before they're gone.

The trail was flooded so going on horseback is a perfect way to see the wildflowers.
