Niagara Riding Stables.
Guided trail rides along the Niagara Escarpment in Niagara-on-the-Lake, year-round with a 4-to-6 rider cap
The brief.
Niagara Riding Stables is a family-run trail-riding operation on the Niagara Escarpment at 471 Warner Road in Niagara-on-the-Lake, with driving directions published from Toronto, Niagara Falls, and Buffalo. The stable runs guided 45–50 minute scenic rides along the escarpment year-round, at fixed daily times — four sessions in spring, summer, and fall (11 am, 1, 3, 5) and three in late fall, winter, and early spring. Owner Dinah McGibbon describes the stable as the only facility in the Niagara region offering public trail rides along the escarpment itself. Groups are capped at four to six riders and led by one experienced trail guide; helmets and signed waivers are required, with a minimum rider age of 10 and a 225-pound weight limit.
