Kids ages 5 to 15 are required to wear Equestrian type Helmets (which we provide) on all our horseback trail rides.  Minors 16-17 may choose to not wear a helmet if parent or guardian signs the  “Protective Equestrian Headgear Refusal Agreement Addendum” portion of the Participant Agreement, Release and Acknowledgement form.

Minors that are travelling with a friend or with someone other than their own parents and/or guardian should print Participant Release form and have the appropriate adult fill-out and sign the form.  The form can be emailed or faxed to our office or brought along and presented to our office prior to the horseback ride.
