No. The horses do not run, canter, or trot on this ride due to the desert terrain and ground-burrowing animals. Ride at a walk and stay with staff at all times.
Helmets are not required, but the center highly recommends them. They provide helmets at no charge; if you refuse, you must sign off on the refusal.
