PRIVATE RIDES, PARTIES & GROUP EXPERIENCES
Make your visit unforgettable with a private horseback riding experience at Bailiwick.
Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, planning a family outing, organizing a group trip, or looking for a unique experience, our private rides and group programs offer a personalized way to enjoy the horses and beautiful Catskill setting.
All private and group experiences are guided by our staff and designed to be safe, relaxed, and fun for both beginners and experienced riders.
🌟 PRIVATE HORSEBACK RIDES
Private rides are perfect for couples, families, small groups, or anyone looking for a more personal experience.
Private rides are ideal for:
• First-time riders
• Families with mixed ages
• Special occasions
• Guests who want a slower, customized pace
• Proposals, anniversaries & celebrations
Private rides allow your group to ride alone with a dedicated guide, without being mixed into a public group.
👉 Advance reservations required.
