What to know before arriving:

The safety of our guests and horses is our number one priority. Please review this information to ensure you are prepared for your experience. 

 

What to wear:

Footwear is very critical - guests must have smooth soled shoes or boots with at least a one inch heel. Riding boots (either Western or English) are great, but dress boots or even rubber boots work well also. 

Jeans or long pants, a long sleeved shirt (for riding through the trees), and layers for warmth or light rain are recommended. Do not wear short pants that do not cover down to the ankle - as riding will be very uncomfortable!

Helmets are optional, but a good idea, especially for junior riders. If a proper riding helmet is not available, a good fitting bicycle helmet or hockey helmet is adequate. A cowboy hat is always acceptable - we love to see our riders share the spirit - but must be secured with a rodeo string (a string under the chin) to avoid the hat blowing off and spooking your horse.

Requirements:

  • Minimum age is 7 years old... No maximum!

  • Weight limit is 220 lbs, except for an experienced or long legged rider, when we may be able to make an exception.

  • When you call, please be prepared to give the height, weight, and riding level for each rider - so that we can match you with the right horse!

  • While we have dogs and other animals at the ranch, please leave your pets at home for their safety and the safety of our horses.
