Millbrook Trail Rides was established in 2010 and has been in business for over 10 years. Meredith Gauer is part of the management team and guides rides; she has been riding horses for over 20 years, enjoys many equestrian disciplines, and completed a Bachelor’s degree in Business Management with a sequence in Entrepreneurship and Small Business Management in December 2013. The program uses online scheduling and states that people of all ages can interact with horses and take part in a customized horseback riding adventure. Families are advised to wear pants for riding and may want to bring a camera to capture the views. One parent described riding through corn fields, cow pastures, streams, dense forest preserves, and shaded trails with a guide named Lily, and another rider described a one-hour ride with views ranging from cornfields to forest to wide open areas.
