Hay There,

-If you are booking beyond 6-7 days in advance, we will follow up with you no later than 48 hours prior
to your ride time to confirm the weather looks agreeable and that your plans are still in place.

In preparation for your bucket-list horseback riding adventure, please note the following:
- Plan to arrive 10-15 minutes before your ride time to allow for paperwork, mounting, tack fitting and a short riding demo tailored to you and your horse.
- Trail rides are not designed for complete beginner and/or physically unfit riders. You must demonstrate novice or better riding level which is defined by us as the ability to independently, confidently and proficiently mount, walk, trot, halt, change direction and dismount in an arena setting before departure onto the trail.
- Youth riders ages 12-17 must be currently enrolled or previously enrolled in at least one ‘semester’ of riding lessons to be welcome to ride with us.
- If you have zero to very little riding experience, we encourage you to book a lesson with us.
- Riders must weigh less than 225 lbs and disclose any health issues for example back, hip, knee or ankle impairments, severe asthma/allergies, epilepsy, and/or prescription medications that may impair judgment or place you at a higher risk during your ride.
- You must have the ability to promptly follow verbal instructions while mounted, intoxicated or incompetent guests will be promptly dismounted and charged a $75 cancellation fee.

These policies are designed to protect the health and safety of our horses, guides and guests. We look forward to riding with you!
