Safe & Sound
(Rules for Safety)
We love to have fun at Georgia Frontiers and we want
you to come back again and again. So, we've got a few rules we strictly enforce to ensure a safe trail ride:
-
We absolutely love a little more cushion for the pushin, but sadly MUST observe a 220 pound weight limit to protect both rider and horse.
-
All riders are encouraged to act like 2-year olds. However, all riders MUST be at least 9 years of age.
-
Although some creative positions have been proposed, only ONE RIDER is allowed per horse. Children can NOT ride with parents.
-
While our volunteers are used to doing the heavy lifting at the barn, all riders must be able to mount and dismount their horses without assistance.
-
A hard head isn't a substitute for a helmet.
-
Children under 18 years must wear protective headgear/a helmet unless their parents or legal guardians sign the refusal statement indicated on the stable's Liability Release and Acknowledgement of Risk Agreement. We've got a limited supply of helmets, so consider bringing your own. Bike helmets are acceptable.
-
Participants 18 years of age and older must choose to wear or not to wear the protective headgear/helmet by checking the acceptance or refusal box indicated on the stable's Liability Release and Acknowledgement of Risk Agreement.
-
-
All riders must arrive at least 30 minutes before their reserved ride time to complete a mountain of paperwork and listen to Roger flap his jaw. If there's time and you're lucky, we'll also tell you how to stay on the horse through the duration of your ride.
-
Our trail guides look out for the safety of all riders in the group. Therefore, the pace of each ride will be set by the rider with the least courage, talent or sense of humor.
