Weather and what to wear. Dress in layers! It’s always easier to take a layer off than wish you had brought it. The beach is always cooler than expected. Don’t disappoint yourself on this super fun day by becoming cold and tight. A riding helmet is required, so bring your own or use one of ours. Long pants like jeans best or your own riding clothes. Boots or shoes with heels. No sneakers or shorts.
If nasty weather is forecasted – and it does in New England, we will reach out to you within 48 hours to determine your level of comfort of riding with the weather. Note: the horses don’t care about the weather. We reschedule the beach for you at no charge, but we do not cancel beach rides.
Only you can cancel your ride. Cancelled rides not rescheduled and not completed within the current season or following season will be forfeited. I.e. if you cancel your ride in October, you have November, March to reschedule. If you cancel your ride in March, you have October, November, December to reschedule. Thank you for understanding.
