horses ranging from gentle to spirited and, during the summer season, each guest is
assigned a horse for the duration of their visit that is matched with their riding
ability. Guests may choose only to partake in trail rides through miles of scenic mountain
trails or improve their riding skills with the help of an expert. C Lazy U's riding
program is very extensive and is a big area of focus. Each day, guests can select from
slow, medium and fast rides or some one-on-one indoor-arena training. An adventurous week
can culminate with a competitive and entertaining "Shodeo," complete with adult
equestrian skill events while children can exhibit the horsemanship skills they have
learned throughout the week.
