Before you ride

Safety, suitability and horse welfare

Good experiences begin with honest information and the freedom to change the plan when the match or conditions are not right.

Information we need

  • Recent riding frequency and typical discipline.
  • Approximate height and weight for every rider.
  • What each rider can do confidently without assistance.
  • Relevant limitations that affect safe participation.
  • Any change in circumstances before the ride.

Our decisions

We may adjust the horse, route, pace, duration or format; move the time because of heat or weather; or decline a request. Riding always involves inherent risk and following instructions is essential.

What to wear

Approved riding helmets and closed footwear with a defined heel are normally required. Long trousers and practical fitted clothing are recommended. Final instructions depend on the session.
