RIDING OPTIONS AND PRICING
Fina Vista Farm is home to a lovely herd of Paso Fino Horses, a gaited breed of Spanish origin that is known for its smooth ride, loving temperament and brio. Wouldn't you love the opportunity to learn to ride, enjoy the trails or even tackle obstacles on the world's smoothest horse?
For Memberships and Trail Riding, some experience is required. Helmets and boots with heels to be worn by all riders (we have helmets and some boot sizes), please come dressed appropriately, including long pants (stretchy recommended), sports bras, warm or dry enough clothing.
The parking area and outhouse is at the end of lane, in front of old barn.
Due to the smaller size of the Paso Fino Horse, we currently have a weight limit of 200 lbs for all riders.
ALL RIDES BY APPOINTMENT ONLY. BEST WAY TO CONTACT IS TO TEXT 519-829-6161.
Prices do not include HST. Payment is by cash or EMT to [email protected].
