Beginner to Trail Rider Program
Have you always wanted to ride but didn't know where to start?
Our Beginner to Trail Rider Program is the perfect introduction to horseback riding for adults and teens ages 16 and older.
You'll begin with two semi-private lessons at
Muddy Boots Horse Farm & Rescue
where you'll learn the essential skills needed to safely handle
and ride one of our rescue horses.
Then you'll put those skills into practice during a 90-minute guided trail ride through one of Maryland's beautiful state parks.
