If you are thinking about boarding your horse with us, we would like to share some important information with you. We try to keep the facility safe for you and your horse and it is your job to make sure that you have the proper safety equipment when mounted.

We require our riders to wear always wear an ASTM certified helmets when mounted. Make certain the helmet fits right and is adjusted correctly. Other helmets such a bike helmets are not adequate. The most common reason among riders for hospital admission and death are head injuries. A fall from just 2 feet can cause permanent brain damage. Most deaths from head injury can be prevented by wearing an ASTM (American Society for Testing Materials) approved SEI (Safety Equipment Institute) certified helmet.
