At Beaver Creek Stables, our first priority is YOU, our guests!
In order to ensure you have the smoothest, most relaxing horseback riding experience on your vacation, here are a few tips on making sure you're prepared before you get here.
Wear long pants and layers if you are coming early or late in the day. Enclosed shoes are required, no sandals.
Please wear a hat if you are not wearing a helmet as the sun in the Colorado Rockies is quite intense - remember, you're at a high altitude. Rain slickers without hoods are provided in the event of rain, which is frequent on afternoon rides. Please bring any additional rain gear you see fit, and a fleece or a sweatshirt if the weather report calls for it.
Plan on arriving 20-30 minutes prior to your scheduled ride. This will give you time to check in, get you and/or the family ready as well as use the restrooms, take pictures and say hi to the horses.
