Recommended Apparel and Preparation for your Ride

What to bring

Long, not too baggy pants (denim is best), PLEASE NO SHORTS!!
Sturdy ankle high boots, ideally with a bit of a heel (no more than 1 inch heel please!). For short rides runners will do, but they are not a safe as a hiking or trekking boot.
SANDALS or FLIP FLOPS are ABSOLUTELY FORBIDDEN.
Layers according to the forecasted weather (if you are attending a Mountain or Foothills Ride, please pack an extra layer)
Ball cap or brimmed hat (especially for half and full day rides), riding helmets are available at no extra cost
Rain gear if applicable (rain gear suited for riding can be rented at the ranch for $ 5 per person)

Please plan to arrive at the ranch 10 -15 minutes prior to your scheduled ride time.

Check the weather forecast so you are prepared for your trip.

We encourage car pooling if possible due to limited parking spots available at the ranch and to limit pollution in general.

Winter Riding attire

Long underwear and jeans or riding pants (ski pants are not ideal as they are quite slippery in the saddle)
Warm ankle high (or higher) boots with warm socks
Warm gloves (no mittens please, you can’t hold the reins properly)

Children

We welcome Children 6 years and older. A legal parent or guardian must sign a waiver form prior to the trail ride. Children under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult. The number of children under 10 years of age in the same ride is limited to 3.

If you are accompanying a child but are not the guardian (e.g. a friend of your child) you must have the legal guardian sign our waiver form BEFORE coming to the ranch. The waiver form can be downloaded here.

Children under 18 years of age must wear helmets. We provide riding helmets at no extra charge. You are welcome to bring your child’s own riding or bicycle helmet.
