How Horseback Rides Elevate Your Health and Happiness
The horse-human bond is an emotional and practical connection. These amazing creatures are more than pets. They are partners, companions, and co-workers who contribute to what we do here at Mountain Creek Ranch. Our horses are like family to us, which is why it’s such a treat to share the joy they bring with guests and vacationers.
Visitors at Mountain Creek Ranch often remark that our horseback trail rides were the highlight of their entire trip. Something in their soul rearranges that puts them at peace, but they never fully understand it.
As longtime ranchers, we know all too well the bliss and therapeutic benefits that horseback riding brings. The calming and rhythmic motion of the horse combined with the scenery promotes relaxation and releases tension. The very act of being in the presence of these noble animals has been shown to lower cortisol levels, the hormone associated with stress.
If you’re searching for clarity, for peace, for comfort, our horseback trail rides are just what the doctor ordered. Contact us to schedule your ride.
