Do You Have a Weight Limit?

All Riders need to be under 260 pounds for the safety and comfort of our horses.

Do You Have an Age Limit?

All Children need to be at least 6 years old to go out on a trail ride. Inexperienced children under 12 years will be ponied by (connected to) one of our trail guides for the duration of the ride unless they have previous experience and are able to steer/stop their horse or pony.

What Should I Bring?

Durable boots or shoes with a small heel are best. Dress according to the weather. If it’s cold, bundle up. We recommend hand & feet warmers for our winter rides. In the summer pants or shorts are fine since we mostly just walk. You can also bring sunscreen and/or bug spray.

Can I Take Photos on the Trail Ride?

Your trail guide will do their best to get beautiful pictures of you and your family during the ride. However, you can take photos before and after the ride. This means please stay off your phone and be alert when riding. Safety First.

Can We Ride Tandem or Can My Small Child Ride With Me?

Absolutely not. For your safety and the comfort of our horses.

What Happens if it Rains?

Rain or Shine We Ride. Questionable Weather? Give text us, and we might be able to shift things around.

Do You Take Credit Cards?

Yes, we now offer Online Booking, and you can use your credit or debit card to book your trail ride online. 

Do I Pick My Own Horse?

No, a High Vibe Trail Guide will choose your horse for you. Each horse is assigned based on riders information (age, height, weight & experience level).
 

Can We Go Fast?

All of our rides are geared towards a quiet and peaceful stroll through the woods to enjoy nature. Most rides are walking only. IF the trail guide deems that the entire group demonstrates the required skillset, they have the option to increase the pace. If you are looking to just come and gallop (run) your horse, please visit another stable.

Can I Schedule a Private Ride?

Yes, we do offer a limited number of private rides, meaning you will not be combined with any other groups. Two-hour rides and availability are limited especially during the weekends in the summer. You will still be accompanied by a trail guide and it does not guarantee you will be able to go fast. 

Ride Size?

Our ride sizes vary. We love doing smaller intimate groups but sometimes logistics just don’t work out. Sometimes we need to combine several small groups. If you are concerned about ride size, please schedule a private ride.

Up To How Many Guests/Horses Can Go Out Together?

We like to keep our group sizes 15 horses and under. That number will depend on the number of small, inexperienced children that are on the ride since each child will need to be ponied by (connected to) one of our guides.

Cancellation Policy

We have a strict 48-hour Cancellation Policy. Once within that window rides cannot be canceled or rescheduled. If you do not show up, complete your ride, or show up late, the ride is forfeited. 

Any rides booked within 48 hours are non-refundable under any circumstances.

Can my kids ride by themselves?

All riders under 15 years old need to be accompanied by an adult unless previously confirmed with High Vibe Staff.

Can Personel with Physical Limitation, Handicapped, or special needs go on trail rides?

Please make sure to communicate any special needs, handicaps, or physical limitations BEFORE booking and we will see if we are able to accommodate your party’s needs. We reserve the right to decline service to guests who we deem are unsafe to ride with no refund if we are not made aware prior to booking. 

Do We Need to Tip Our Trail Guides?

Tips aren’t required but they are greatly appreciated. Our trail guides do their absolute best to make sure everyone has as much fun, as safely as possible when riding with us. They also go out of their way to capture unforgettable moments by taking multiple pictures of you and your family during the ride.
