Arrive Early for Check-In
Plan to arrive 30–60 minutes before your ride to complete waivers, get fitted, and meet your horse—loading can take extra time with mixed experience groups.
Bring Your Own Water
High-elevation air dries you out fast; carry at least 1 liter for a 90-minute ride and more for half-day options.
Dress in Layers and Closed-Toe Shoes
Mountain weather changes quickly—wear layers and sturdy closed-toe shoes (ankle support helps) for mounting and dismounting.
Respect Weight & Safety Limits
The operation enforces a 240 lb maximum and age minimum of 8 for safety—be honest at check-in to protect riders and horses.
Sturdy, closed-toe shoes or boots
