FAQs
Arrive at your booked trail time (not early). After you arrive, you complete forms, get your helmet, and do the safety program and horse tryout in the ring (about 30–45 minutes) before you head out on the trail.
Wear closed-toe shoes with a smooth sole (no flip-flops, Crocs, hiking boots, or bare feet). Wear long pants if you can; otherwise, wear shorts that reach your knees.
The trails operate rain or shine. Ponchos and raincoats are provided; bring an extra T-shirt and a towel if it looks like rain.
