Letchworth Trail Rides

01/29/2026

We’ve made the difficult decision to cancel trail rides this weekend due to the extremely cold temperatures, which are expected to remain in the low double digits and single digits. This is not a decision we take lightly, but the safety of our riders, our guides, and especially our horses is our top priority.

We will resume rides once temperatures are consistently above 20°F.

Last night gave us one of those farm moments that makes your heart absolutely stop.

When we went out to put hay out, we found our little two-year-old standing inside the frozen round bale feeder — stuck in the middle with no way to get himself back out. Somehow, he had no trouble jumping in… but couldn’t reverse the situation.

In that split second, about 5,000 horrible scenarios ran through my mind.

The recent snow accumulation had built up around the feeder, creating a higher “ramp” without us even realizing it. It was just enough to let him step up and climb in to get to the good hay in the middle. Once he was in, the height and footing made it impossible for him to get back out.

Thank God we handle these babies every single day and put so much time into desensitizing and working with them. He didn’t panic. He trusted us.

Ryan had to use the large tractor to pry the entire hay feeder up off the frozen ground and literally lift it up and over his head so we could guide him out.

Not a scratch on him.

A huge reminder how quickly winter conditions can change the farm environment in ways you don’t even notice, and how something as simple as snow drift around a feeder can create a dangerous situation.

Also a reminder why we put so much time into handling, training, and building trust with these horses. Last night, that training is exactly what kept this from turning into a tragedy.

When snow sits on top of a horse’s back and doesn’t melt, that’s a good sign. It means their winter coat is doing exactly what it’s designed to do. Horses grow a thick, fluffy coat that traps warm air close to their skin. The outer hairs shed moisture, and the snow rests on top like an insulating layer—kind of like a down jacket.

So if you see our horses out in the pasture wearing a “snow blanket,” don’t worry!they’re cozy, warm, and built for this!

I really can’t wait for spring… and then summer… and then all the busy, beautiful chaos that comes with it. But I suppose I have a few months to go. ❄️

In the meantime, I’ll keep soaking in mornings like this one. Fresh snow blanketed the farm early today, quiet and untouched, and our guests were treated to a truly once-in-a-lifetime early morning ride on newly snowed trails.

A beautiful couple. Incredible horses. Soft snow under hoof. One of those moments that reminds you why this place—and these animals—are so special. 🤍🐎

🐎 Tired of Riding in Circles?

Welcome to Our Hybrid Riding Lesson Program.

Do you want to ride a horse—but hate being stuck riding endless circles in an arena for an hour? Same.
That’s why we created the perfect hybrid lesson program: arena skills + real trail riding, every single lesson.

Each session blends structured instruction in our indoor or outdoor arena (weather-dependent) with guided trail time, so riders can immediately apply what they learn in a real-world setting. Learn the basics or level up your skills—then take them outside where riding gets fun.

What’s Included:

✔️ Arena riding & skill development
✔️ Trail riding every lesson
✔️ Obstacle courses & trail challenges
✔️ Ring riding & horsemanship skills
✔️ Confidence-building outdoor experiences

We’re incredibly fortunate to border the Greenway and Letchworth State Park, giving riders access to miles of scenic trails, hours of horseback fun, and unforgettable adventures. Yes—we even take the horses swimming in our pond. Ice cream shop rides? Parades? Yep. We do that too.

Program Details:

🕒 Lesson length: 1.5 hours + tacking & grooming time
👥 Small groups only: Max 4 riders per lesson
🎓 Certified riding instructor
📅 Tuesdays & Thursdays (summer evenings)
🐴 Beginner & advanced groups available

Winter is doing what winter does best and throwing us a curveball. With warmer temperatures and rain in the forecast, there’s a strong chance the snow we have will melt over the next few days and turn into everyone’s favorite… mud. If conditions become too slippery, we may need to reschedule this weekend’s trail rides for safety reasons.

We typically hold off until closer to the weekend to make the final call, but we wanted to give everyone a heads-up. As always, you’re welcome to reschedule your ride at any time using the link provided in your booking confirmation.

If you’re hoping for a true white, snowy trail ride, we recommend rescheduling sooner rather than later—our winter weekends fill up quickly since we offer very limited spots.

Thanks so much for your understanding, and we’ll keep you posted as we get closer!
