Maine Guided Horse Rides
Semi Private Beginner Ride at Carousel Horse Farm
2025 prices $100 person
Seven days a week, if we can’t fill a ride we may reschedule it. Call for existing times that need to be filled or choose a date on the reservation form and we will try to fill it. Weekends and Weekday afternoons are the easiest to fill.
Our 45 minute to one hour beginner Maine guided horse rides is perfect for families. This ride will focus on the children which means extra time in preparation and a shorter time on the trail through the easier portions. One child under 10 and no more than two children under 12.
You can be on a horse for the very first time or if someone in your party has anxiety or just needs extra time to understand the instructions. It is a walk only pace through woods and fields with a gorgeous view of Mt. Washington on a clear day. Wildlife abounds and our little wooded area just behind the barn is a virtual nursery of fawns, fox, fisher cats, wild turkey and many other species.
Private
Maine Guided Horse Rides
2025 Price $275 for 2 people, $450 for 3 to 4 people, $600 for 5 or 6 people
Seven Days a week
The Private Trail Ride is approximately one hour for people 8 years and up, who’d like a catered experience based on their comfort level and abilities. Some perks that aren’t included in our group rides are photos while out on the trail (not professional) and personalized instruction during the ride. The more advanced version includes some trotting and the added complexity of riding steep hills, navigating more difficult trails and seeing a river with small waterfalls as well as the mountain view everyone gets to see. An easier version for beginners does not include the river or trotting but will include the mountain view.
