Our horses
are well-trained and responsive, and bred for steadiness
and dependability. By using horse sense, following
the Rules of the Trail, and paying attention to your
wrangler, most accidents can be avoided.
We are certified
in horse safety by the Dude Ranchers Association,
and our wranglers are highly capable, experienced and
well-trained.
Even with the best training, however, horses can become frightened by sudden, unexpected movement, a flapping poncho or a yellow jacket sting. Because horses are prey animals, their first instinct, when badly frightened, is to run. They are also herd animals, with a pecking order, and occasionally bite or kick to reinforce herd structure. There are no absolute guarantees that you will never get hurt when you are around horses. That's why, before you ride, we require that you read
and sign our assumption of risk form, and obey the
Rules of the Trail.
