ride with us: wild rose equine center

sometimes you need to get out of the city and ride horses for the day.  we had the opportunity to do just that recently, and i highly recommend it.

wild rose equine center, located just north of kansas city, in dearborn missouri, is the perfect place to visit when you need to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life.   it's not the type of thing you can do everyday, (well maybe you can, i don't know your budget), but for a great deal - just $30 each - we reserved an hour-long adventure with a few, new four-legged friends.

the equine center is run by dez mallonee, and she takes an active role in ensuring every guest feels right at home.

the property is well-maintained and the staff couldn't be more accommodating or any friendlier. 

regardless of your knowledge of horses or horseback riding, you'll feel like an old pro after a quick lesson in guiding your horse.  you'll spend an hour exploring the open fields and rugged terrain, expertly guided by their knowledgeable (and did i mention super friendly?) staff.  the trail rides are available for guests age 4 and up and helmets are provided.

when your ride is over, don't head back too quickly to your city abode.  take some time to explore the grounds, getting to know some friends of the animal variety who reside there.

this llama was pretty rad.  struttin' around like he owned the joint and vougue-in' it up for the camera.   i seriously considered taking this diva home with us.

but alas, the llamas are not for sale.  

puppies however, are.

we had an awesome time at wild rose and we'll no doubt be heading back soon for another adventure.

wild rose equine center is open year-round when the temperature is above 20 degrees and under 100.  they offer trail rides, riding lessons, boarding and a variety of other services.  visit their website or check them out on facebook for additional information and to book your own adventure soon.
