Your child MUST be 8+ for trail rides and 5+ for private lessons. FYI: All riders under 18 MUST wear a helmet, which we provide.

All of our horses are beginner and first time rider friendly. It is important for you to understand that animals, especially horses, can pick up on nervous or anxious feelings and react in a similar manner. If you feel uncomfortable at any time, please communicate with your trail guide.

Riders MUST be less than 225lbs. FYI: EMRC has the right to refuse potential riders for the health, safety, and best interests of our horses, staff, and other riders.

Mountain Weather can be very unpredictable and very different depending on where you are staying. We ask that you allow us to make the decision to cancel for weather. We will make every attempt to contact you as soon as the decision is made. In the event that we cancel, you will have the option to reschedule at the next available time, OR receive a full refund. If you cancel due to weather, you will not be refunded. All sales are final. We will ride in light, misty rain or snow (our favorite rides!), but not in downpours or lightening if we can avoid it. It is your responsibility to check your email/text for any cancelation notice, prior to your arrival.

Due to the trail terrain, and for the health of our horses, we can not allow tandem riders for any reason.

Currently, we do not have anything formalized; however, we do hope to have activities for younger children in the near future.

Unfortunately, due to liability, we cannot allow guests on-site who do not have a reservation with us.

If your dog is well-mannered + crate-trained, they are welcome to stay at the barn, crated. Please bring your own crate, and no barkers please! We also have barn cats, FYI!!

We can accommodate large groups - please contact us with your party size and desired time.

Yes! We offer basic beginner horsemanship lessons in the Western Discipline for ages 5 and up, taught by a certified instructor. Each session is 1 hour long. Please see our experiences page for current pricing and availability. Monthly passes are for 4 lessons total: 1 lesson a week for 1 hour. All 4 lessons must be used within the month. If you have more than 1 child who would like to do lessons, they may take lessons together. Must still pay current rate per child. No more than one child on a single horse. If you are interested in lessons, you may book online and an instructor will contact you with further details.

Yes, our horses love Apple and Carrot treats. Please refrain from giving treats to the horses until the instructor allows you to do so. Some horses can be aggressive when it comes to food.

Yes and No, it depends. Our private tours are unique and most of the time do not follow the same route. Please be sure to let us know what trail you have ridden before, and we will do our best to change up the route for a new and unique experience. Our community tours follow the same trail year round.

Yes! We sure are! However, our hours vary in the winter/spring months (Nov-May) based on weather and number of bookings. We do our best to accommodate your preferred day and time; however, we ask that you remain as flexible as possible if we need to modify the exact day and time. We will notify you as soon as possible if we need to do so.
