During the loading process we must take the time to care for the horses and make smaller groups of riders. Group sizes average approximately 10 riders and it can take over an hour to load all of the groups safely and care for the horses, so please be patient and expect this process to take some time. We appreciate your patience. Not suitable for children under 8 years old or riders over 240 pounds. Must wear closed toed shoes.
