Frequently asked questions
Can we ride directly to the trails, or do we need to trailer out?
You can ride out from the property to reach popular Black Hills, SD, routes, which saves time and lowers stress for horses. We provide general trail pointers, scenic suggestions, and safety reminders to match your group’s experience. Many guests pair a morning loop with a shorter evening ride for a balanced day.
What should we bring for the horses?
Plan for your usual feed, buckets, fly gear, and a basic first-aid kit, plus any supplements and prescription meds. Pack extra halters, lead ropes, and a spare hoof pick—small items that prevent big delays. We also recommend current health paperwork and a labeled tack system, which keeps chores quick and organized.
How do your paddocks work during the stay?
Our paddocks are arranged for easy arrival, turnout, and daily checks, and you’ll find straightforward guidelines posted on-site. Many riders reserve paddocks for rent that match herd size, then keep a simple routine: morning feed, mid-day water check, and a calm evening cool-down. At checkout, a tidy, swept space speeds your departure and helps the next guest settle in smoothly.
What happens if weather changes quickly in the Black Hills, SD?
Storms can roll through fast, so we recommend checking the forecast each morning and carrying lightweight rain layers. If conditions shift, pause, shelter, and let the cell-radar window pass before riding on. We’ll gladly share local insights on which routes drain well, stay shaded, or offer good wind protection.
