THINGS TO KNOW
Safety is a very important part of our programmes at Okanagan Stables; please familiarize yourself with the following because we want you to have the best horseback riding experience possible!
SAFETY
- Safety is a very important part at Okanagan Stables.
- Riders participate in a practice warm-up before the trail ride. The time and attention taken in this session is to make sure that you are comfortable with your horse, and helps us provide the most enjoyable and safest ride possible.
- Our trail rides are guided in order to provide the safest route for both our guests and our horses.
- If preferred, young or nervous riders of any age can be hand-led on their horse by our staff, both in the staging area and along the trail, to ensure their safety and comfort.
- Parents who are not riding are welcome to accompany their children on the trail on foot. Our programs are opened to children of all agest.
