Cheyne Ranch does not offer horses / ponies for individuals “to ride.” We groom, walk, wash, love-on the ponies and other animals.
This is small group outdoor social time at its best!
Please NOTE: this is not horseback riding lessons. As part of our animal, barn and nature skill building, we may go on a hand-led pony / nature walk occasionally, but we will not be learning mounted riding skills. For horseback riding lessons, please refer to our horseback riding page.
