historic wooded acres at the
Castle In
The Clouds beautiful mountaintop estate.
Our beautiful riding trail takes you by
Shannon Pond, through gorgeous wooded
trails, across a wooden bridge along
Shannon Brook, view the Castle on on the
horizon - all from horseback!
Our gentle horses are good for riders
of all levels. We will match riders with
a horse that will accommodate their
riding ability, no experience necessary.
We provide a nice loading platform to
mount and dismount your horse.
