Testimonials

Hi Tina,
I just wanted to say thanks for the Great Time this past Tuesday! You did an incredible job as always! As we spoke, this was my 3 kids first time on horseback and after the experience it won't be there last! They all can't wait to come back next year! I also wanted to mention that your children are to be proud of...your boys were extremely professional tour guides and your daughter was quite a pleasure to buy grain from! She was there in your absence when you took the next group out and I wanted to say she is doing a great job! We have been coming to you since you started offering rides in the park and will remain doing so for years to come!
Till next time...
Thank You!
Bill Richter

Horseback Riding at Letchworth
Trailride Scenery

Enjoy a peaceful view of Letchworth State Park in the saddle of a well trained horse, and a guide that will help you enjoy your visit. Letchworth State Park has beautiful trails that await you with an experienced guide that just might lead you into a herd of wild deer, or what ever wildlife that may wander through the park at that time of riding.

Whether you are a novice, or an experienced rider, you are guaranteed a great ride within Letchworth State Park, with Wolcott Farms 4 Seasons of Fun.

No experience is necessary to ride. The horseback riding is all instructional and there are two guides that will give instructions on horseback continuously throughout your trail ride making sure you have a great ride and relax with the sounds of nature. We ride all twelve months . All rides are great for beginner through advanced riders. Beautiful wooded trails with scenery that is breathtaking. Our horses are experienced riding horses and most are gaited Tennessee Walkers and draft horses , we match rider with horse, which makes for a fantastic ride. Horse sizes range from 13 to 18 hands [four inches = one hand] tall. Most rides are at walking pace due to the terrain, but if situations allow, we can move faster. We ride rain or shine and through the fall, winter and spring seasons. Bring a camera to capture that special family moment.

Answers to Common Questions

What is your weight limit for riders? There really is no weight limit. Riding is a physical activity and isn't only about weight. A heavy person who is athletic is easier for a horse to carry then a lighter person who flops around and does not work with the horse.

What is a "family ride"? It accommodates families, we have dropped our age minimum to seven for family rides. Call or Ask for other options for the younger children.

Can I ride double with my child? I'm sorry, no; it is very unsafe for everyone involved.
