Departure

Please arrive 15 minutes prior to the scheduled departure time to ensure a smooth check-in process and to allow enough time to prepare for the outride.

 

What to wear?

Long pants, such as denims or trousers, but not too tight.

No dresses, shorts, bikinis or swimwear.

Friction from bare legs and the saddle moving from the horse's natural motion leaves the rider with uncomfortable pinches down the legs.

Sturdy closed shoes or boots - no sandals or flip flops. They're great for vacations, but not for horseback riding.
Flip flops are a safety hazard while riding.

Don't forget your sunglasses, and be sure to bring sunblock in the summer!

Please bring a raincoat, jacket, or windbreaker, as the Cape weather can be unpredictable.

Please ensure that you wear appropriate clothing as stipulated. Failure to do so may result in the forfeiture of your ride at most stables.
