and an experienced guide. Packages start at $225 per person for a 24hr period.
Sam Houston National Forest
Located just north of Montgomery, Texas is primitive camping. We must carry
all supplies in by horseback. There is no running water, electricity, bath rooms, etc. The camping area is located
along side Lake Conroe which offers fishing, swimming, night time camp fires and evening horseback riding.
Lake Somerville
Located off Hwy 290 past Brenham, Texas has established camp sites with running water,
electricity, public rest rooms and showers, mile marked trails, etc. While this location is less primative and
has the basic needs available the cost is greater for this trip due to the additional distance and cost of the camp
sites. Prices begin at $300.00 for a 24 hr period. This site offers swimming, fishing evening horseback
riding, sites with picnic tables and above ground grills, etc. We are unable to build on ground bond fires at
this site due to park restrictions.
Youth & Adult Horseback Riding Lessons
Horseback riding lessons in both english or western disciplines for both children
and adult riders. Lessons are $60 for a one hour lesson at our barn. Students are allowed to try 1 riding lesson
at a cost of $60 to see if the program will work for them. (There are some discounted prices available just give us
a call or email for details.) After the 1st lesson if they deside to continue with future lessons they are required
to pay for 4 lessons at a time. They are given 2 months (there are some cases where an exception will be made) to complete
the set of 4 lessons. We do not give refunds for paid lessons. Paid lessons must be taken or the amount paid

Work To Ride Program
There is currently a few slots open for our work to
ride program. This is a program designed to help persons who have a real interest in working with horses, are not afraid
of hard work, and can't afford the expense of paying for riding. After every 4 hours of work performed by the worker
they will receive 1 hour of either riding lessons or free time riding at our barn. Hours may be stacked and after the
accumulation of 12 hours the worker may opt to go on one of our guided rides (availability permitting).
The work at a barn is not easy work and consisted of cleaning stalls, picking up and
stacking wood in burn piles, cleaning spider webs, grooming horses and other horse related activities as needed.
For consideration in this program please fill out the application below.
