Weight Restrictions

 

  • Weight Restrictions & Riding Experience

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

    Too great a weight on a horse’s back can injure a horse and thus we have weight restrictions for people weighing between 90 kg – 100 kg depending on their height and riding experience.

    A shorter person with no riding experience and who weighs in excess of 90kg may not be able to ride with us as we may not have a suitable horse available. 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.

    Only in exceptional circumstances may anyone weighing in excess of 100kg be able to ride with us.

    Any customer may be asked to be weighed by our staff to clarify exact weight.

    To assist us with horse allocation, all bookings must 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 unlikely that these people can ride with 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
