Charlotte NC Guided Horse Trail Ride
Overview
Think about a scene from a movie or book where the heroine effortlessly hops onto a wild horse and rides off into the sunset. Did it leave you on the edge of your seat? Could you too feel the wind in your hair as her steed galloped across the plains? Join Explorer Chick for a Guided Horse Trail Ride Mini Adventure near Charlotte, NC. Enjoy this half-day trip meandering through the beautiful Anne Springs Close Greenway nature preserve, atop a gentle giant. (Hey, baby steps. You can work up to that hair-whipping plains gallop!)
A Guided Horse Trail Ride for Beginners
Start out your day meeting at the Anne Springs Close Greenway horse barn. There, introduce yourself to your new larger-than-life riding buddy. No need to know how to saddle up your steed. All horses will be properly saddled by the professionals and ready to go! Fortunately (or unfortunately), this means no comic relief watching a too-loose saddle slowly slipping and resting upside-down on your horse’s belly.
Learn basic commands and how to navigate your horse
Our guides will assist in the first lesson of the day: mounting the horse! Left foot in the stirrups, grab that saddle horn, and up and over you go! From your new commanding view sitting tall and pretty, off into the woods you go! Along the way, learn all the basic verbal commands and how to use your legs to navigate down the trail. Yep! Your horse is listening to your words and can even hear the emotion in your voice. Spend the next two hours exploring the trails from a whole new perspective.
No experience is necessary for this fully equipped guided horse trail ride near Charlotte, NC. Come join us for a beautiful day of horseback riding at Anne Springs Close Greenway!
