Once aboard a horse out in the woods you get a feel for what it must have been like a hundreds of years ago. This is rough country, and you will appreciate what it took to move around in these parts on horse back. In light of the rough nature of the Pocono landscape, all riders at Malibu are subject to a walk ride first to assess ones ability and to familiarizes you with the wranglers. Those showing the necessary abilities to advance will be placed on more advanced rides. Note that Malibu is not a riding school and does no offer lessons or ring work.
Instruction is provided that is adequate for trail riding on a novice level.
Advanced riding techniques are subject to the riders own extracurricular activities away from Malibu . Those showing the proper dedication and skills will be allowed to participate in the all day rides in held on Tuesdays in the fall. These are long grueling rides that last approximately seven hours, and cover all aspects of terrain and riding. No novices or first timers will be allowed to ride on these rides, though they are welcome at Malibu and will be placed on appropriate rides.
