Full description

The Little Dude Ride is perfect for ages 4 and up, offering a full hour of horse time in a relaxed and supportive setting. It’s a great way to build comfort and confidence around horses. No prior experience needed.
The session starts with 20 minutes of brushing, giving kids a chance to meet their horse and learn the basics of grooming. Next, guides lead a 20-minute lesson in the arena where riders get familiar with mounting, holding the reins, and gentle riding techniques. The final portion of the ride heads out onto the trail for 20 minutes of scenic riding through the beautiful Central Texas landscape.
This experience is paced with young riders in mind, with highly trained guides helping every step of the way. It’s a fun and approachable way to make lasting memories in the Hill Country, whether it’s your first time riding or your tenth.
