Fall Horse Lover’s Weekend

Date: September 18th- 20th, 2026
Age: 8+

We are planning our Fall Horse Lovers Retreat to be a relaxing weekend of enjoying God, His Word, and the beauty of His Creation. As you spend the day riding our scenic trails, participating in a horsemanship or training lesson, along with other horse-related activities, we hope that you will avail yourself of ample portions of western hospitality served up at the Cowboy Campfire.

We are going to offer equitation instruction focusing on using basic Drill Team maneuvers to help you better maintain control of your horse and hold its attention as you move in and around other horses. You will have the opportunity to enjoy our trails, horseback or on foot. And Cowboy Campfire will be going on all day with fun and relaxing activities like coffee, Tomahawk throwing, roping, and Q&A sessions. We plan to finish up the weekend with a Breakfast Trail ride out to our Fort Wilderness.

There is a weight limit of 250 lbs. for all riders. It is highly recommended that you have the ability to mount and dismount the horse with minimal assistance. Please contact the MMR office if you have any questions. If you would like to bring your own horse, contact MMR to obtain the necessary forms, boarding costs, and vaccination requirements.
