If you would like to experience trail riding in the beautiful Ganaraska Forest in Campbellcroft, please join!

The trip is well suited to those who have some or no experience with horses. The TOC encourages all participants to wear the helmets provided by Maple Crescent Farms. A waiver from the outfitter will be provided for you to look over prior to the event and I will have copies for everyone to sign when we meet up.

We will meet in front of the cinemas at Scarborough Town Centre

  • We have enough cars since my husband, David, has volunteered to drive. I'll take two people and he'll take another two. The total number of attendees is capped at 6 because this is the maximum group size that will go out with one trail guide. PLEASE ONLY SIGN UP FOR THIS EVENT IF YOU'RE SERIOUS ABOUT GOING.

    Notes:
    This is an excellent review that I found on TripAdvisor about Maple Crescent Farms: "Trails and horses are geared to different levels of riders. So if you've never been near a horse before there will be gentle trails, gentle horses and encouraging, supportive guides to ensure you have such a great experience that you come back again. If you're a more experienced rider you can talk to Boris (owner) and he'll match you with a horse that you will enjoy."

    Please let me know what your riding experience is so that I can let Boris (the owner) know. He'll arrange to have a suitable horse for you.
