Weight Restrictions & Riding Experience

For the safety of our customers and the health of our horses, we do not allow our horses to carry heavy weights

Too great a weight on a horse’s back can cause serious injury and thus we have restrictions on people weighing between 95 kg – 100 kg.

We ask that you discuss your weight, height and riding experience with our staff at the time of booking to ensure that a suitable horse is available for your preferred day and time.

It is unlikely that we would have a horse available that could safely carry people weighing in excess of 100kg.

Our 70 horses all have a maximum weight allowance and thus Customers may be asked to be weighed by our staff prior to riding.

To assist us with horse allocation, all bookings are to indicate:
the number of riders in each of the following weight ranges:-

• Up to 70 kg
  
• 70 kg – 90 kg
  
• 90kg – 100 kg
  
• 100+ kg It is most unlikely that these people can ride at Gunnamatta Trail Rides.

• And also indicate how many times each rider ridden a horse in the past 5 years
• 0 times
• 1 – 5 times
• 5 + times

NOTE: Refunds will not be given where a customer exceeds these weight limits, so please ensure that correct weights are given for all riders at the time of booking.

If you have incorrectly advised us of your weight and we are unable to allow you to ride on the day, no refund will be given
