Why not check out our blog on what to wear for horse riding to keep you comfortable and safe - blog.
We have a wide range of sizes of hats which comply with up-to-date industry safety standards which you can borrow for no extra charge. We do still recommend that our riders purchase their own hats if they continue to ride so they can be most comfortable but please ensure that it complies with BHS hat safety standards as there are so many types on the market and not all meet this. Note that our instructors will check your hat before your ride to ensure it meets the correct standards.
Maximum weight limit is 12st / 76kg - Wardhouse EC reserves the right to check the weight of a rider at any time to ensure the health and safety of our horses and ponies. We thank you for your understanding.
All riders must be 4 years or older.
