Frequently Asked Questions & Answers ...

“Do you have a weight limit for horseback riding?”

Although we do not have a specific “weight limit” we do exercise caution in mounting guests who are disproportionately heavy and/or excessively heavy. There are several factors that must be considered in determining whether or not an individual is too heavy or too big to ride including: rider’s riding experience/ability, size of the horse, type of terrain, speed of ride etc. With regard to the actual weight factor, we feel very confident that our horses can safely carry loads weighing up to 20% of their body weight including rider and saddle/tack . . . as a general rule. Naturally, we’ll use our discretion in choosing an appropriately sized horse for large riders. With our guests’ safety in mind, we reserve the right to restrict heavy and overly heavy riders to level terrain and/or walking rides.

“Do you offer any riding besides nose-to-tail?”

Yes. Most of our mountain trail riding requires single file riding for obvious reasons. However, many of our faster riding opportunities offer those in control of their mount to spread out a bit provided the terrain is appropriate for such. Gathering and moving cattle will also provide for riding opportunities other than nose to tail.

“Will you add a gratuity or service charge to our final bill?”

No. Our weekly rates include an end of season bonus for our employees based on their individual job performance throughout the summer

“Do you have internet access?”
