    Cantering Trail Ride for Intermediates
    You'll have an incredibly smooth ride on beautifully trained Tennessee Walkers.  Tennessee Walkers are gaited horses - they’ve been bred over generations to have a very smooth gait and it’s an amazing  riding experience. This is your chance to appreciate this unique breed at Blue Sky Riding. These trail rides begin with a ½ hour orientation to acquaint you with your horse.

    Beginner Trail Ride with Skill Orientation & Group Picnic

    This is a rare opportunity to combine an orientation clinic with a group trail ride & picnic. We've created this special horsemanship program with instructor Sara Leslie. First you'll learn all about horses, tack, and grooming. Then we'll give you a quick lesson in the arena followed by a trail ride. After your trail ride you'll enjoy a catered picnic and horse social. (Sometimes we even watch the Stanford polo team practicing nearby.)

    Things to Know
    Q: Is the Trail Ride with Skill Orientation Unique?
    A: Yes. At most stables, you don't have the chance to learn about equipment and get introductory instruction on horse control before your trail ride. You get the best of both worlds with an orientation clinic followed by a trail ride & picnic social.

    Q: Where are the Webb stables?
    A: Take Freeway 280 to Alpine Road. Exit going West on Alpine. Take the first driveway on the right. Follow the road all the way through the ranch. Watch the speed limit signs and be careful when you see horses! Towards the back of the ranch you will see a covered arena on the right side. Find a parking spot and the office is right by that arena. Make sure to wear loose fitting jeans, or riding pants, bring your camera and sunblock, and you can bring your own horse riding helmet if you have one.
