Our programs offer a solid foundation for riders of all ages and levels.

From navigating rocky terrain to encountering wildlife and unpredictable obstacles.

In addition to technical skills, our training program also emphasizes the importance of building a strong bond and mutual trust between horse and rider. We believe that a trusting partnership is the key to successful trail riding, and we work to foster open communication, mutual respect, and a deep connection between horse and rider.

Feel the difference one of our guided trail rides, where authenticity, adventure, and connection with nature take center stage. Unlike trail rides offered at resorts, our experiences offer a more intimate and immersive experience into the wilderness.
At GWC, we prioritize small group sizes and personalized experiences, ensuring that each rider receives individual attention and guidance related to the needs of their horses.
Moreover, our focus on sustainability and responsible stewardship of the land sets us apart. We prioritize eco-friendly practices and strive to minimize our environmental impact, ensuring that future generations of equine trail riders can continue to enjoy the beauty of the Central Oregon wilderness trails for years to come.
*********Disclaimer - Riders must take a minimum of 2-4 riding lessons on property and be over the age of 18 prior to purchasing a guided trail ride. This is to ensure the safety of both horse and rider. GWC does not offer trail rides to the public, they are by appointment only and the difficulty of the trail is determined by the capabilities of the rider. If a rider wants to bring their own horse on a guided trail ride, they must come in for a consultation and evaluation prior to purchasing a guided trail ride.
