Kay's Acres Horseback Riding

At Kay’s Acres, we believe horseback riding is more than just an activity—it’s an experience that creates lasting memories. Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, spending time with family, enjoying a date, or simply looking for a unique outdoor adventure, our guided trail rides are designed to be safe, enjoyable, and accessible for riders of all experience levels. Our unique trail system allows us to accommodate everyone from young children and first-time riders to seniors and individuals with special needs. Beyond the trail ride itself, guests can enjoy our petting zoo and Western Town, making Kay’s Acres a destination rather than just a horseback ride.

Our mission is to provide safe, memorable, and enjoyable horseback riding experiences while fostering a connection between people, horses, and the outdoors. We strive to create an environment where guests of all ages and experience levels can build confidence, make lasting memories, and experience the joy of horses in a welcoming, family-friendly setting.

The Kay’s Acres brand is built on dedication, professionalism, and a genuine passion for horses and people. Every member of our team shares a commitment to creating exceptional experiences for our guests while prioritizing safety, horse welfare, and customer service. We take pride in the brand we have built through hard work, consistency, and a commitment to not cutting corners.

We believe that learning never stops. Both our owners and staff are committed to ongoing education and professional development within the equine industry. Through clinics, workshops, competitions, mentorships, and hands-on training opportunities, we continually seek to improve our horsemanship, safety practices, and guest experience. By staying current with modern training methods and industry best practices, we ensure that our horses receive the highest level of care and that our guests benefit from knowledgeable, well-trained professionals. Our commitment to education reflects our dedication to excellence and our belief that there is always more to learn in the pursuit of becoming better horsemen, horsewomen, and educators.
