Since we've gone to the same place more than once, we know the quality of the rides are pretty consistent and the people who guide us are pretty attentive to the riders and horses needs.
Riders of all levels are invited to participate. No skill necessary (really, no joke there) .. just be able to sit on a horse for at least 1.5 hrs. The employees at the ranch will fit you with the perfect horse for your riding ability.
Date: Saturday, October 25th
Saturday Night Trail Ride :Every Saturday evening leaving the stable area at 6:00PM. Included is an hour-and-a-half trail ride and a one-and-a-half-hour Western-style BBQ, live entertainment and lots of quality fun with an old fashioned hayride at the end of the evening. The live entertainment consists of a DJ in the woods. The BBQ consists of Hamburgers & Hotdogs. There is usually a group of about 25 people max on this trail ride. It can be slow paced...but that is good for those who are not comfortable with riding a horse. Price: $60/person (a $20 deposit is required mailed via check - remainder is due the night of (Cash only))
Here is the website for the stables : Echo Lake Stables - Newfoundland, NJ (Near West Milford)
Feel free to comment on whether or not you'd like to attend or RSVP on our calendar on the right.
Don't worry, if you can't make this event, we will be planning another ride in the winter for a change of scenery. Also, I'd like to plan an event for those who want to take private/group lessons at a faster pace...
I can't make it on 25th! I'm planning Preeti's baby shower on that day. I would like to invite you all to the shower instead Horseback riding. Vaishali
Heya, I just spoke with Vaishali - those of you invited to the shower -- it is in the morning so if you wanted to do the horseback riding, there is plenty of time to get there afterwards. :-)
FYI -- I also hope to find a decent place near Central NJ for the folk in the area at some point, hopefully there is a good one nearby. If not, we'll stick to this place for future events.
I'm going!
