	Trot or Walk Trail Ride & Wine Tasting This is a gorgeous trail ride at Garrod's Estate with amazing views. Your 1-hour guided trail ride can be trotting - for those who want to move a little faster, or walking - for people on their 1st or 2nd trail ride. Afterwards, enjoy tastings at Garrod's winery, with a light cheese and fruit buffet. You're ready to Trot if you've been on a few walking trail rides and are now very comfortable on horseback. Beginners are encouraged to try the Walking Ride; it's a gentle ride with sweet, mellow horses.

	Q: Are Garrod's rides English or Western? A: You can ride either English or Western. If you want an English saddle, please let us know and be sure to wear English riding boots (short or tall), so that you can fit into the narrow English stirrups.
