Riding at any standard has an inherent risk that you may fall off and could be injured. Please note that by using my service you accept that risk and agree that Harriet’s Hydra Horses will not be liable for injury or damage to property.
I, therefore, recommend that you ensure that you have an adequate medical cover with your travel insurance. I also reserve the right to refuse to accept a booking if, in my opinion, the rider would be putting themselves, others or my horses at risk due to physical disability, behavioural or attitude issues, or appear to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Do's and Don'ts
- Do bring a small rucksack with water and snacks for longer treks.
- Do wear sunblock because even in Spring and Autumn you can burn easily.
- Do wear longer shorts or leggings even in the Summer so you don't get sore legs from chafing on the saddle.
- Do spray yourself with mosquito repellant as a precaution.
- You won't need a sun hat or cap because you will be wearing a safety helmet!
- Do remember that my horses are real and not animatronics! They sometimes turn quickly, take a mis-step, flinch, etc., so you must pay attention and concentrate while riding.
- Do not wear flip flops or strappy sandals (it is not safe footwear for riding and you may have to dismount and walk in places).
- Don't forget your camera!
Please note that due to uncertain terrain, we do not trot, canter or gallop as it is unsafe for both horses and riders. All treks are at walking pace.
PLEASE also note that there are no toilets at the meeting point, nor is there a cash point so don't forget to 'go' before you come!
Weight Restriction
My horses are sturdy, however there is a limit to the amount of weight they can take both for their own health and the safety of the rider especially when trekking up steep inclines. Therefore I cannot book for anyone weighing more than 100 kilos for longer mountain treks and reserve the right to refuse a trek. Weight limit 95kgs (210lbs)
Rider Registration
- Please click the Rider Registration PDF below, which I ask you to read and acknowledge when you book a trek.
- If 16 or under I will only accept a booking from an appropriate adult who accepts responsibility for the care and conduct of their charge.
DISCLAIMER: Please note that Harriet's Hydra Horses cannot accept any responsibility or liability for the conduct of rides taken by other operators when Harriet Jarman cannot provide a trek for you but at your request suggests another operator as an alternative.
