Sometimes we think of what people from a hundred years ago or more would think of us and everyone who comes for trail riding at Pink Flamingo Stables. After all, for thousands of years horses were simply beasts of burden, used to pull plows or wagons. If someone rode a horse, it was to get them from one place to the next. They probably had no concern for the horse’s wellbeing beyond the financial aspect of the creatures, and they certainly weren’t riding for fun!
People from the past might laugh at us when we’re treating our horses so well, spending time with them, and riding for fun. But you know what? We don’t care! We’re perfectly happy trail riding and teaching people how to ride here in Lake Worth.
But as tough as people used to have it, people of today still like to get back to the way things once were. In this country, one of the most popular ways to rough it is to go to a dude ranch. People spend a lot of money to get back to the way things were 150 years ago…but once they get there, some people realize they made a mistake! If they arrive and find out that they aren’t really enjoying themselves, it can be a wasted vacation.
So, what could possibly give them some time with horses before paying out thousands to help on a dude ranch? Why not get a little preview with an hour trail ride here at our Lake Worth stable? And finally, what can a single hour horseback riding do? Let’s take a look.
