Shout out to our wranglers, Kathy & Carolyn, for taking four groups to the vineyards today, so we could play at the corn maze!
Thanks to all of our friends, old and new, who showed up to love on the horses. We’ll see you next weekend! 🥕🐴🌽🎃

Please tag us in your pics!

Haven’t you heard? The weather’s perfect, the leaves are showing off, and EVERYBODY wants to ride. So we’ve called in reinforcements.

We’ve opened up two more spots for private rides on Sunday at Merrie Mill!

Prime riding weather, gorgeous fall color starting to pop, and a saddle with your name on it!

What are you waiting for?

What a great first day of pony rides! 🐴🍂 We loved seeing so many smiling faces and kicking off the fall fun!

Unfortunately, Mother Nature has other plans for tomorrow, so both our pony rides and vineyard rides are rained out. 🌧️

But the fun isn’t over! We’ll be back at the Blue Toad Hard C***r Presents the Blue Ridge Mountain Maze the next TWO weekends (Sat&Sun) from 12–4 PM offering pony rides!

Come see us and make some sweet fall memories! 🐴🎃🍁

There’s no higher compliment than hearing seasoned, lifelong equestrians rave about our incredible horses. ❤️🐴

We know how special they are, but it sure means a lot when experienced riders recognize it, too!

It’s almost time for PONY RIDES at Blue Ridge Mountain Maze! 🐴🌽🍂

We’re looking for smiley, friendly, kid-loving, horse-loving helpers to join us for pony ride days this fall! If you—or someone you know—loves kids, is comfortable around horses, and doesn’t mind jumping in wherever needed, we’d love to have you.

We’ll be set up at Blue Ridge Mountain Maze at Blue Toad Hard C***r in Roseland.

Know someone who fits the bill? Tag them below or send them our way and we’ll share the SignUpGenius! 🤠🐴

Many hands make light work—and make pony rides a whole lot more fun!

Saturdays & Sundays 10/10-10/25

✨ We’re thrilled to be included in Washingtonian Magazine’s Grape Escapes! 🍇🐴 🥂

There’s truly no better way to experience Virginia w**e country than from the saddle, in our opinion, and we’re so proud to offer our vineyard rides at the incredible Veritas Vineyard & Winery.

Veritas is just one stop on the trail! We offer horseback experiences at several beautiful vineyards, cideries, and destinations throughout the Charlottesville and Nelson County area.

Come see w**e country a little differently. 🍷🐎⛰️
