Horseback Riding Services

Come experience our beautiful trails from the saddle. Our well-trained, well-cared for, happy horses would love to show you around - whether a romantic ride with that special someone, a horsey adventure followed by a sampling of some fantastic local wines at Janemark Winery, or simply some self-care time outdoors - we have the experience you are looking for and the appreciation and ethical treatment towards these incredible animals that you can feel good about.

We offer two types of ride:

1. Mixed group rides (your group + other groups)

2. Private group rides (just your group)

Our mixed group rides are offered on-farm at set times Friday - Sunday, last for 1 hour, and include our Horseback Trail Ride and Wine Tasting Experience. To turn a mixed group ride into a private ride, you may purchase the entire time slot for just your group.

Our private group rides take place either on-farm (1-hour) or off-farm (2-3 hours) and offer the some flexibility to go at faster paces for experienced riders, if so desired.

On-Farm Ride - 1 Hour

(2 Person Minimum, 5 max)

Private Group Ride

Would you like to customize a trail ride for your own private group?

Do you have a little more experience and so would prefer to set your own pace? We have you covered! Come enjoy nature and the company of our wonderful horses.

Take a one-hour horseback ride through our regenerative farm. Learn how we keep horses sustainably through rotational mob grazing and multi-species stacking, using other animals in symbiosis with the horses to massage the land, sequester carbon, build the soil, and produce clean food. This ride can accommodate groups with up to five people.

Add an unforgettable finish onto any private ride with a charcuterie picnic beside our bonfire (includes complimentary champagne).

PLEASE NOTE: while we can take individual riders out, we have a minimum cost involved in bringing in a guide, preparing horses, etc. Thus, we charge a “single rider surcharge” for a solo rider. It is more cost efficient per person to gather a group of friends!

Important Notes for All Rides:

• We can currently take out up to 5 guests at a time on-farm and up to 3 guests at a time off-farm.

• No experience is necessary for taking one of our trail rides.

• For the safety of our riders and horses, we have a 250lb weight limit. Good physical condition is a plus. Riders must be able to mount and dismount on their own, with a mounting block.

• The minimum age for the guided ride is 15-years old, unless the rider has 1-2 years of prior riding experience. For the wine tasting, all riders must be 21 and older.

• Riders will be given safety and riding instructions and must be able to demonstrate the ability to control the horse and be of their own physical ability to ride.

• We do not accept walk-ins or same-day bookings.

• We do not offer unsupervised horse rentals. All of our trail rides are with a guide.

• Choose appropriate footwear/clothing. Long pants and closed-toe shoes are required.

• We require the use of a ASTM/SEI certified helmet for all riders. Please wear your hair in a manner conducive to wearing a helmet. You may bring your own, or we will provide one for you.

• In case of severe weather, tours may be canceled or rescheduled. Guests will be notified the day prior to their ride if the ride will need to be canceled. If the tour cannot be rescheduled, we will offer refunds.

• If a guest cancels their ride more than 48-hours in advance, a full refund will be issued within 3-business days. If cancelled fewer than 48-hours in advance, no refund will be provided.

• Foxfire Farm coordinates, staffs, & prepares horses in advance of our rides based on the bookings that we receive, and we have a limited number of bookings available in any given week.  Out of fairness to those other riders in your time slot, as well as the riders in the time slots after yours, and in consideration of our horses' workloads and our staff's time, we cannot hold up the group to wait for you if you are running late.  Please plan to allow for traffic and the unexpected, and arrive a little ahead of your ride time.  If you are not present at your ride time, you will forfeit your ride, and you will not receive a refund.
