HORSEBACK RIDING WEIGHT RESTRICTIONS:

American Safari Ranch considers safety as one of our most important responsibilities. This obligation includes horseback riding operations and requires us to ensure the safety of both rider and horse. As such, American Safari Ranch will exercise caution with regard to allowing horseback riding for individuals of heavier weights. The weight limit for horseback riding at American Safari Ranch is restricted to 250 pounds. America Safari Ranch considers several factors in determining whether or not an individual is too heavy or too big to ride, including: rider’s physical fitness, riding experience and ability, size of the horse, type of terrain, speed of ride, and other factors. As a general rule, horses can safely carry loads of up to 20% of their body weight including rider, saddle and tack. American Safari ranch will exercise discretion when addressing these issues and reserves the right to prohibit riding or restrict riding to level terrain, or walk-only rides. Please do not hesitate to contact us to discretely discuss specific circumstances.
