About Us
Riding Lessons
Lessons are $40 person, they usually last about an hour or so, 35/40 minutes of riding time and the rest is getting the horses ready and helping to put them away ☺️ we go over safety, basic horsemanship and riding skills. We are a western geared barn, we do have some kids that ride English with us but we are not proficient in that discipline. We usually offer group lessons but are open to private as well. I typically send out a mass message Sunday evening with lesson availability for the week and then folks will just respond with a day or time they can come. I have a nice majority of kids some that are working on more beginner things and others that are working on cantering and doing more advanced things like riding outside of the ring and starting to prep for a showing. We also have been having a good variety of adults coming to ride! It’s a very family oriented atmosphere and we are all about having fun and loving the horses!

Birthday Parties & Public Events
BTF is proud to offer birthday parties on OR off farm!
On farm parties usually are held in a “lesson” style in our arena. Kids ride on their own with guidance and supervision. we have several picnic tables by our riding arena for parents and guest to hang out with front row seating. We also use this area for food/drinks once the riding time is over.
Birthday parties off farm are pony ride style. We usually bring 2-4 horses depending on the amount of guest at the party. Price varies with length and amount of horses for the party.
Public events is also one of our favorites! We typically take 2-4 horses for pony rides at events such as the Thurmont community show, Myersville’s Trolley Festival, Macaroni Kids events and more.
Trail Rides
We have a variety of trail ride options!
Option one - our old reliable rides are $50 per person rides usually last around 1 hour or so but we always recommend folks block off 1 and 1/2 hour for the visit. It consist of some woods and field riding.
Option 2 - our scenic wolfsville tour. This trail ride is typically about 2 to 2 1/2 hours long. This ride is more of a road ride, we ride into the small town of Wolfsville. We take a few backgrounds, come into the small town square and circle back around to the farm. This ride is $75 per person.
No matter which option you choose, We spend some time in our riding ring getting everyone one comfortable on the horses before we head out on the trail, and usually myself or other helpers will walk depending on how many riders or how confident everyone feels. Rides are very laid back and low key - we mainly only walk with exceptions for more experienced riders 😊
