A credit card will be held on file at the time of your reservation. You will not be charged until your arrival, However,  Cancellations made with less than 24 hours' notice will be subject to a last-minute cancellation fee of 50% of your total party number.  No-shows for scheduled appointments will be charged the full price of the total party size of the missed appointment.

​

​Saddled and Ready No-Show Policy

To ensure smooth operations and fair compensation for our team's preparation, we require all riders to be present at their scheduled reservation time. When a reservation is made, our team meticulously prepares the appropriate number of horses, which includes retrieving, brushing, and saddling each one specifically for your party. If a portion of your group does not arrive for the scheduled ride, it results in unnecessary preparation work on our part. Therefore, if members of your party are absent at the time of your reservation, a "Saddled and Ready" no-show fee will be charged to the credit card on file. This fee will be 50% of the cost for each missing rider. For example, if a trail ride costs $50 per person, a no-show fee of $25 will be applied for each absent individual. We understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise, but this policy helps us manage our resources effectively and continue to provide the best possible experience for all our guests. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
