Trail Ride Registration
Overnight Horseback Ride Rules and Conditions
The
Wild Horse Sanctuary welcomes everyone to experience the beauty of the
wild horses. Due to the nature of the overnight rides, there are some
rules and conditions we must abide by to ensure the safety of both horse
and rider, as well as, provide an enjoyable experience for all.
PHYSICAL
CONDITION
All riders must be in good physical condition.
EXPERIENCE
LEVEL
Open to all riders from novice to experienced. However, please be honest
about your experience level so that we can match you with a horse to
suit your skills. The following definitions should be used as a guide
when filling out the trip application form:
Beginner: "Never
been on a horse." "I ride 2 or 3 times a year."
Novice: "I
ride 5 to 10 times a year." (And have for several years)
Intermediate:
"I ride once a month." (And have for 5 years or more)
Advanced:
"I ride once a week." (And have for several years)
WEIGHT
Due to the fact that the trip includes a 2,000 foot climb to the cabins
and a saddle weighing approximately 50 lbs., we must limit rider weight
to 205 lbs. for the safety of both horse and rider. (Trip participation
of riders exceeding the weight limit will be subject to management
approval.)
AGE LIMIT
Participation of children under the age of 14 will be subject to
management approval.
SPECIAL
NEEDS
So that we may properly accommodate you, please notify the Sanctuary in
advance of any special needs you might have.
