Overview
We provide a controlled environment for safe horseback riding for kids and beginners, and a petting zoo. We have a 24,440 sqft equestrian center with a spectacular view of Mississippi river sunsets. Our location is wonderful, with nature all around us.
Our horses are calm and happy in this place. They love to be petted and groomed. The goats, pigs, and chickens are friendly, and will eat out of your hands. Rub the pigs belly, scratch the goat, feed meal worms to the chickens, and watch the smiles grow on your family's faces. The ducks provide comical quacking as they waddle around the property. The pigs grunt come and go inside our living spaces. The miniature horse is absolutely wonderful with kids and can carry up to a 50 lb rider. We move along at your pace.
This unique experience feels like visiting family.
Nobody else has rental apartments overlooking an indoor horseback riding arena, where you can see the animals and beautiful scenery right outside your windows.

Slow and controlled horseback rides. We start slow and we end slow. Wrangler Roger leads the horse and riders take turns one at a time. Folks not riding can walk alongside, take pictures, lead the mini horse, and pet the other animals before, during, and after the rides. Focus is on kids, but we also give rides to beginner adults (200 lb. weight limit). We have friendly horses, goats, mini pigs, guinea pigs, dogs, chickens, ducks, and a miniature horse for you to meet and pet. Safety is first priority, followed closely by fun. We operate rain or shine in our 60’ x 160’ indoor riding arena, outdoor riding arena or in pastures surrounding our 24,440 sqft facility. Hand feed chickens, goats, and mini pigs. Watch the ducks splash in the water. Walk among a herd of friendly horses. Price is a group rate (max of 6 people).
Other Available Activities: Lunch with the horses.
Adults/Teens/co-workers/seniors bonding, communication building exercises, and just visiting with horses.
Campfires with the sun setting over the Mississippi River.
We also have overnight rental apartments inside the equestrian center.
