The novice ride with trotting offers an exciting and scenic horseback experience for riders with prior experience. Before venturing into the sand dunes, all participants receive a thorough half hour assessment in the arena to ensure they can safely mount, dismount, hold the reins correctly, rise to the trot independently, steer, control, and stop their horse. Riders who do not meet the required skills may be redirected to a beginner trail or remain onsite for safety. The ride explores beautiful sand dunes with stunning coastal and mountain views, allowing riders to trot along long stretches and, for experienced groups, enjoy a short canter. This semi-private ride is designed for small groups, giving personalized attention and a safe, enjoyable experience.

Ideal for riders aged ten and above who have prior lessons, this ride combines adventure, skill development, and breathtaking scenery. Children can join if they meet the minimum skill requirements, and groups of up to four can book together. Guides are available to take photos during the ride upon request, capturing memorable moments in the dunes. All participants must adhere to weight limits and safety guidelines. The experience blends the thrill of riding, the beauty of the natural landscape, and the satisfaction of mastering trotting techniques in a supportive environment.
