Booking, Riding and Cancellation Policy



RIDING POLICY

We require height, weight and riding experience for everyone intending to go horseback riding. We will use this information to select the best horse for you, and if it is a "match" - (that is, if both you and the horse are happy!) - that is generally your horse for the duration of your stay!

Please note that large or heavy people may not be able to ride, or may be limited to a walking ride only. Rancho Guadalupe Equestrian Riding Trails reserves the right to limit availability of horseback riding due to anything, which may in our judgment pose a threat to the safety of either rider or horse.

Note: All persons who intend to participate in horseback riding will be required to sign a waiver of liability.

We highly recommend using a riding helmet; it secures the head better than just a sombrero. We have helmets and sombreros at the stables – you can borrow one, whenever you want.

You should always wear shoes that are suitable for riding, sneakers or hiking shoes are not allowed – they are very dangerous because they can get stuck in the stirrups.

Your stay at Rancho Guadalupe Equestrian Riding Trails includes 3 to 6 hours daily trail riding in the wilderness.

INSURANCE

Rancho Guadalupe Equestrian Riding Trails does not provide any participant with insurance of any kind. We recommend you purchase your own trip insurance to cover any medical emergencies that may arise or for trip cancellation problems, you may incur.

PRIVACY STATEMENT

Rancho Guadalupe Equestrian Riding Trails respects the privacy of our customers. As a result, we pledge to never release your personal information to any outside agency.
