For You Safety

  1. Always use caution when around horses. Horses may be frightened by loud noises or fast movement and react in unexpected ways.
  2. Never stand directly in front or behind horses.
  3. Don't feed horses - they might mistake fingers for food
  4. Wear shoes or boots with heels to prevent from slipping through the stirrups. Keep heel lower than toe. (No bare feet, no sandals, and no flip flops)
  5. Do not mount or dismount without a guide's assistance.
  6. No carry-on articles such as purses or cameras. No articles tied to the body, hanging from shoulder or neck. These can become entangled in riding equipment.
  7. Persons under the influence of alcohol or drugs will not be allowed near the horses.
  8. Be completely honest about your riding experience so the guide can choose a horse that suits your ability.
  9. When making reservations, please notify us if anyone in your group has mental or physical disabilities, or any special needs.
  10. Keep space between horses. Any horse may kick when crowded.
