Know Before You Go

Reservations are required for all Cabin Creek Stables activities. All reservations are on a first-come, first-serve basis. Stables staff have the right to limit activities in order to provide the safest equine experience.

At Cabin Creek Stables, we strive to work with our horses by creating a partnership. Each horse is a four-legged coworker and friend, so we want our guests to work with them as a team. Each team needs a leader, so we encourage guests to be a leader for their horse to have the best experience.

Altogether, this helps the horses stay mentally sound in such an important job: taking care of our guests. Horses are amazing creatures that embody beauty, power, and strength, so we are grateful to be able to share these animals with you. Being a prey animal, when they feel in danger, there is always an inherent risk with horses. However, we do our best to provide our horses with the education needed to provide the best experience for our guests.

Cancellations:
  • To avoid penalties, please honor a two-hour cancellation time frame.
  • All activity times and availability are dependent on weather and trail conditions to ensure animal and guest safety.
  • We will still ride in light rain but may cancel due to lightning, hail, or high winds.
  • Maximum rider weight is 245 lbs.

  • Mounting and dismounting your horse (getting on and off) requires putting all your weight on one leg and swinging the other leg over the back of the horse. This requires the rider to have the appropriate amount of mobility, balance, and strength to independently get themselves safely in the saddle.

  • Children must be 7 years of age or older to ride by themselves. No double riding.
  • Kids 6 and under must be led by a wrangler or another adult.

Pregnant riders are not allowed on horseback, but wagon/sleigh rides are at your own discretion.

  • Rides are limited to the lowest ability level of the group. If you are interested in traveling faster than a walk, please consider a private ride option (pending availability, trail conditions, and rider ability) and contact Stables staff directly.
