Itinerary:

Please join me for a horseback ride at Whinny Acres located near Priceville (2 hours from Toronto). This will be a 2 hour guided trail ride to start at 11:00am taking us through the scenic hills of Priceville and tranquility of the country side. We will zigzag through pine forest, ride on hill tops over-looking the valley, around meadows where horses are grazing, into the wetlands, crossing over water/streams and along old logging roads.

Following the ride, pretty sure we'll have a healthy appetite - so how about roasting marshmallows and hot dogs on a roaring campfire with a choice of chili dogs or a bowl of home made chili for lunch and a surprise dessert. Yum!

Whinny Acres will provide you with the following:

  • Complimentary riding instruction in the arena for new riders before starting out on the trails.
  • A horse that will match your height and riding ability.

    IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE: Helmets are mandatory for the entire time that we will be horseback riding. Whinny Acres will provide the safety-approved helmets - which are a TOC safety requirement; if you ride and have your own helmet, feel free to bring it. Whinny Acres requires that all participants sign a waiver.
