Our group was a mix of beginner and experienced riders, and our guide Mac paired everyone with the perfect horse for their level of experience.
The stable's website says so too.
It was our first time horseback riding, and we had such a wonderful and pleasant time.
First time there, had an amazing time, everyone in my group had little to no experience.
Sarah is very good with explaining what to do and how to ride for beginners, and her horses are very well trained!
If you're a beginner like I was, ask any and all questions ahead of time so the guides will help and direct you and you can feel confident on your ride.
Some of the horses have a mind of their own of course, but nothing even the most beginner of riders couldn’t handle.
This was a bday surprise for my girlfriend, we both never rode horses before, so I planned this for us.
Anyone that has never been on a horse and is nervous, they have a horse for you!
With this said, Blue Moon Acres is the place to go for all riders (beginners to advanced).

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.
