BOOK RIDE

The horse-drawn wagon ride here at Mountain Creek Riding Stable is a 45-minute ride that goes along the same trails as our horseback rides. Our wagon will seat up to 10 adults comfortably. This is a great option for families who may have children that are too small to go on horseback so that they are still able to get the horse experience. Another great part about the wagon at Mountain Creek Stable is that if you come with a group of people and some want to horseback ride while others would rather take a wagon ride then the wagon can follow right along with the other horses on the trail, keeping your entire group together while allowing them different options.
