Suitable for all physical fitness levels

All riders must arrive 30 minutes prior to their ride time.

Guests participating in horseback riding will need to be 8 years or over and a maximum of 230lbs. Banff Trail Riders is committed to the health of our horses and the safety of our guests, which means that the minimum age and maximum weight requirements are strictly enforced. As part of the check-in process, guests may be required to confirm their current weight on a scale and provide proof of the child’s age. In the event that these requirements are not met, the booking will be forfeited without a refund.

Please note that children will not be paired with an adult – they must ride their own horse.

For our foreign visitors we require an understanding of basic English for our horseback rides, so that you can understand simple instructions from our guides.

Children aged 17 years and under must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

For safety purposes helmets are mandatory to be worn by all riders.

Riders must wear long pants and sturdy closed toed shoes enclosed to the ankle - no open toe shoes or shoes with big heels.

Adults must sign a waiver for all activities, and a waiver must also be completed by the parent or legal guardian of any person under the age of 18 (documentation may be required to confirm the signatory’s authority).

Riders must be physically capable of controlling the horse during the ride without assistance and for the health and safety of all riders we regrettably cannot accommodate any disabilities or special needs riders. We recognize that disabled riding is a unique and respected skill set that we at the barns do not have the appropriate equipment or skills to safely execute.

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.
