TERMS & CONDITIONS
Cancellations and No-Shows
Bookings can be cancelled up to 7 days before the reservation date, or within 24 hours of making a booking provided that this is not less than 48 hours from the date of reservation.
The only exception is in the case of heavy rain, we will make a joint decision with the guest by 19h00 the evening before the ride as to whether we go ahead / cancel / postpone.
Should the above deadlines be adhered to, payment will be refunded.
In the case of “no-shows”, same day cancellations, or cancellations outside of the above cancellation policy, full payment is due and no refunds will be made.
Arrival time is 30 minutes before the ride start time to complete forms, fit helmets and be paired with your horse, so that the ride can leave at the scheduled time. As we may often have other guests on the same ride we cannot wait for late arrivals once the ride start time has begun. We cannot refund if we need to leave without you.
Where the House Rules have not been adhered to with regards to minimum age, maximum weight or appropriate clothing, we cannot refund if a rider cannot participate. Please make sure before you book that you do not exceed the weight limit. 85kg is the maximum, it is not a guideline, so we cannot exceed this, not even by 1kg and no exceptions will be made.
HOUSE RULES
Maximum weight limitis strictly 85kg. Weighing is required on arrival. Anyone exceeding this will not be permitted to ride and will not be refunded, so please be sure BEFORE booking. Our horses are a small breed and none can safely carry more than this.
- Children from 8 years old and up, no exceptions. As above, no refunds if this is not adhered to. All riders are on their own horses and are not lead-reined, so children must be comfortable to be on a horse for the duration of the ride without someone walking alongside them. It is a trail ride in a wildlife reserve so we cannot lead-rein or have anyone walking on foot.
SAFETY
-
Our horses are gentle and reliable, but horse riding by nature is still considered a high risk activity, and therefore all riders do so at their own discretion and free will. By booking a ride and participating, you accept this risk, and indemnify the staff, management or owners at Horse Rides at Pete’s from any responsibility for any loss or injury sustained through participating.
Helmets are provided and all riders are required to wear one. No helmet, no ride.
Closed, flat, secure shoes are compulsory. No one will be permitted to ride barefoot or wearing flip-flops, sandals, pumps, high-heels, wedges etc.
Please wear long, fitted pants. Avoid loose flowing clothes that can get caught up or blow about on windy days. No dresses or skirts.
Please disclose any medical conditions we need to be aware of for your safety. We cannot permit anyone who is pregnant to ride, we cannot accept the risk.
Remember sunblock and bug-spray during the summer and something warm in winter.
We do not have drinking water available on the farm. Please pack a water bottle or cold drink for after your ride, especially in summer.
If you need to take a bag for water or a camer, please use a small, light backpack. No handbags. Please remember our weight limit includes your clothing and bag.
You are welcome to bring a camera or smartphone for photos. Please ensure they are safely carried as you will not be allowed off your horse in the wildlife reserve to retrieve dropped items.
No smoking or vaping while riding, or in proximity of our horses, staff and other guests.
This is a walking pace ride. Within the wildlife reserve we are only permitted by the landowners to walk.
