A Horse's Friend

Trail riding is now open on a limited basis

AHF continues to support our programming by offering trail riding in the Greater Rochester, NY area.

We begin each ride with a horse-to-rider pairing and a short lesson in one of the riding rings. We then head out on the trails for a fully guided trail ride. Our 45 minute ride is $50/person.

We accommodate riders aged 10+. Single riders may either be paired with another group or be taken out on a solo ride. We do accommodate large groups as well. Total riding time may be over an hour, so please come on-time (arrive 15 minutes prior to your appointment), as there may be a ride directly after your scheduled ride (minimum 24 hr advance notice)​​.
