Respectful Rules
Absolutely no smoking, vaping, drugs or drinking alcohol on or around our horses.
Headphones, earbuds or music devices while trail riding are prohibited (this is a relaxing trail ride, enjoy nature & leave behind the electronics).
Keys & phones should remain in our secure saddle bags attached to your saddle (you may take out your phone/camera for pictures & videos if desired) or keep secure in zipped pockets.
We are not responsible for lost items that may fall out of your pockets and may not be able to backtrack to retrieve them.
No purses, bookbags or any type of bag with straps can be worn while trail riding.
Please listen to your trail guide and stay in sight of your trail guide at all times. Failure to abide by your trail guide may subject immediate end to your ride time.
We have the right to refuse service at any time during your trail ride (with no refund or prorated amount) if these rules are violated in any way.
What to bring/expect
Please arrive 15 minutes ahead of time to be fitted to your helmet (optional for ages 18 & older) and for stirrup adjustments.
Long pants or jeans and close toed shoes (boots with heels preferred) are required.
Keep in mind we will be riding through woods and at times crossing creeks. We suggest wearing old clothes that you don't care to get dirty or snagged by branches.
We highly recommend bringing bug spray and a water bottle.
Your trail ride is the duration of time that you choose. We have trails that match up which take certain amounts of time walking on horseback to complete. If you choose to go faster than a walk (trotting/cantering), it may result in a shorter ride time as our trail paths are time matched to complete on horseback at a walk.
Trail rides are not secure until the following steps are completed:
You must receive a confirmation text or email from us verifying your trail ride is completely set up.
Full payment paid (once date & time is confirmed).
Fill out our waiver (we can text or email it to you).
