Rules & Guidelines for Trail Rides

  • Rides are offered on a first-come-first-served basis.​

  • Must be able to mount the horse with minimal assistance.

  • Must be able to sit in the saddle unaccompanied for at least 60 minutes.

  • Must be at least 7 years of age.

  • No doubles

  • Weight Limit: 240 pounds.  Our weight limit, as dictated by our liability insurance, is 240 lbs.  The weight limit is non-negotiable and is set for the safety of our riders as well as the health of our horses.  If Management is concerned that a rider may be above the designated weight limit the office staff will respectfully request a private discussion with the rider away from their party.  

 

*Please inform the staff of any medical conditions that could potentially impact your well-being or require special attention while in their care. By providing this information, the staff can take necessary precautions to ensure your safety and provide you with the appropriate level of support. This will help to ensure that you have a positive experience and enjoy your ride.

Weather

Our rides do go out in all SAFE weather conditions, rain or shine. If a cancellation is made by Brown County Saddle Barn  for any safety-related reason, we will diligently work to reschedule you for another ride.

Age Requirements

The 2.2 mile trail riders must be 7 years of age or older and, preferably, at least 4 feet tall.   For the safety of our riders, we cannot allow more than one rider per horse, regardless of age.  Pony rides are for ages 2-7 only.

Attire and Electronics

Pants and close-toed shoes are highly recommended for your comfort and safety, but not required. We also recommend that our guests wear sunscreen. Please refrain from having anything “wrapped or strapped” to you during the duration of your ride. For your safety, we will not allow backpacks, purses, fanny packs, etc. on the ride. We are not responsible for lost or damaged electronics or valuables. Please secure all your electronics like GoPros, cameras, phones, etc. properly on your person before your ride. Cell phones must be put on silent and stored in a secure location during the ride.

Safety

A riding waiver must be completed in order to ride. Helmets are required for persons under 18. Helmets must be worn at all times. Helmets are provided by Brown County Saddle Barn. We are a drug and alcohol-free establishment. We reserve the right to withdraw a person who is, in our opinion, likely to endanger themselves or others. We reserve the right to cancel a ride if we become concerned about the safety of anyone on the ride.
