What riders say about Merrill stables

Chism Trail Ranch

Went trail riding for my birthday and it was a blast! The trail ride came with a quick lesson on how to ride our horses, which I really appreciated. I felt like I had control over my horse even as a total newbie, which gave me confidence in my ride. Everyone was so kind and knowledgeable!
