Our address is 6484 Morning Sun Rd., Oxford, OH 45056. We are 3 miles north of the center of town (Oxford) and just 2 miles south of Hueston Woods State Park.
We recommend long pants (to avoid the saddle rubbing on bare skin and to protect your legs from insect bites) and a t-shirt. Depending on weather and air temperature, a light coat would be advisable. In cold weather/winter, please wear a heavy coat and bring a pair of gloves.
All horseback riding is weather and trail condition dependent. The following conditions may cancel your scheduled trail ride:

-unsafe trails cause by rain the day of or night before
-hot, humid days
-Name
-Phone number
-Which trail you would like to ride
-Number of riders
-How many adults and how many kids and kid’s ages (so we can choose the correct saddle size and match a horse to their skill level)
Cancellation of your trail ride will only be accepted by written word from the original person who scheduled the ride with a minimum of 3 days’ notice PRIOR to your scheduled trail ride for a full refund of your deposit.
Cash is the preferred method of payment, but we do accept credit/debit cards.
Cowboy boots are recommended, however a good pair of closed toe, tie-on shoes will work. Absolutely NO BARE FEET, NO SANDALS, NO FLIP-FLOPS, and NO CLOGS are permitted to be worn when going horseback riding.
Nation Road Horse Rental determines by 9 a.m. on our open days if the trails are safe to ride. If the trails are considered too risky to ride, a call is made to every scheduled ride for that day to inform them that the ride is being canceled. We will not risk our customers, our staff, or our horses on trails we consider unsafe to ride.
Customers are encouraged to call the office (513-255-5752) on the day of their reserved ride to confirm their ride time.
