Right out of the RULES and REGS

(This is copied directly from the Rules and Regs. Bold,Italics and hotlinks added for clarification)

6.01 There is a $5.00 per hour per person charge for members or $15.00 per hour per person charge for non-members for horse riding with a minimum of a two person charge (a member or non-member charge as applicable) per ride for just one rider.

6.02 Horses will be made available on a reservation basis. Reservations should if possible be made a least one day in advance. Only members may make riding reservations in advance of their stay at the Ranch. All riding fees need to be paid at the time you make your reservation and are not refundable if you do not show up for your appointed time. You need to cancel one day in advance if your plans change to receive a refund of your money. You can make reservation requests by signing up on the bulletin board at Headquarters if you are unable to contact the wrangler or Ranch manager directly. You also need to read the rules. For insurance purposes, all horseback riders must be accompanied by a staff member. It is recommended that all riders wear a helmet and all riders 14 and under must wear an approved helmet.

6.03 Horseback riding is a delightful experience and a wonderful sport. It can also be very dangerous even with maximum precautions. It is necessary for horse users to sign a liability release for themselves and their children. If you bring someone else's children with you, their parent or guardian must sign the liability release form. NO EXCEPTIONS WILL BE MADE! If you will contact the office, we can either fax you a liability release, or we can mail one to you. You can also download them from the website. Our horses are gentle and well trained, and we try to match their temperament to the experience of the rider. Even the gentlest horse will become hard to handle if it is excited, frightened, or confused. You can avoid danger and injury to yourself and the horse if you will use common sense and listen to the trail boss.

6.04 The Ranch Manager has been given orders to deny riding privileges to all who do not follow the guidelines.

6.05 If you have horses, you may want to bring them with you. There are many fun places to ride on the Ranch. If you bring your own horses, you do not need to go on a supervised ride. You will need to furnish your own feed. If you cannot keep your horses on your own property, you need to notify the Ranch in advance to make arrangements for their stay.
