I don’t recommend the long ride if you are unsure of your capabilities to ride that long as the trails do get challenging at times but not unrealistic for beginners or children.
We went on a guided forest trial ride that I enjoyed but I would say it’s not necessarily for beginners, maybe riders with a little more experience.
Calling in, and being a first time rider, the woman was super nice and very informative about what to expect and answered my questions dilingently.
The stable's website says so too.

Beginner checklist
- Wear long pants and boots with a small heel. Flat sneakers can slip through a stirrup, and shorts let the saddle rub.
- Ask about helmets. Many stables lend riding helmets. Ask whether they have one that fits, or bring your own riding helmet.
- Tell them you are new. It gets you the right horse and the right pace.
