Looking to trail ride or take lessons near Sarasota, Fl

I’m going to be visiting my snowbird parents in Bradenton in the first week of March. I’ve been thinking of doing a lesson or going for a ride on one of the days that my parents will be golfing.

I own a horse and have been riding my whole life in both english and western disciplines. I’ve worked at stables since I was in high school and am currently a beginners instructor at a reining stable. I mostly stick to trail rides with my own horse and am usually out for 2 hours minimum with him doing walk trot canter and take the dogs with us too.

I’m looking to either do a dressage or jumping lesson since it’s been a while since I’ve ridden English with an instructor or do a trail ride experience that involves more than walking. The few places that I have found that do those types of trail rides have mixed reviews, so I’m lost on where to look. I would also be open to doing more than one lesson if I enjoy my first lesson.

I’m a little late to answer this so I’m not sure if you found something yet! Bit of Hope Ranch down in Englewood does trail rides that cater to your experience level as long as you let them know. The owners name is Suzanne (941) 650-5414 and you can either call and leave a message or text.
