Questions

Do we need horseback riding experience?
No. Guides pair riders with calm mounts and spend the first hour on basics. Most groups include non-riders; guides accommodate all skill levels.
What's the physical demand?
Moderate. Full days in the saddle (6–7 hours with breaks), uneven terrain, and standing for museum tours. Bring conditioning and ibuprofen.
Can we customize the itinerary?
Yes. Outfitter (Gettysburg Battlefield Tours) works with groups to focus on specific regiments, generals, or tactical moments; book 4–6 weeks ahead.
