What can I do to Prepare for my Trail Ride?

Paperwork

Review and sign the Riding Liability Release Form. Bring a copy to the farm.

Attire

Wear comfortable clothes that fit you well. Clothes that are too baggy are not safe as they may become caught on tack or branches. Clothes that are too tight will not be comfortable in the saddle.

Wear a shoe or boot with a heel. This is for your safety in the stirrups.

Wear long pants, preferably jeans (or breeches, if you have them).

Remove loose or hanging jewelry such as large earrings or dangly bracelets.

Other Items

Remember sunscreen if you skin type needs it. Most of the trail ride on your horse will be shady, but this is an outdoor event.

In some seasons, an insect repellent such as OFF may be desired.
