Responsibilities of Murthwaite Green


All the ride leaders at Murthwaite Green are fully qualified Ride Leaders, and hold current first aid certificates

You will take part in a short assessment lesson in order that we can allocate you the most suitable horse for your ride.

Our Rider's Responsibilities


You are responsible for filling out the booking form as accurately and as truthfully as possible

The rider understands that anyone riding understands that horses are unpredictable by nature. When frightened by real or perceived danger or when under stress, they can jump forward or sideways, run, buck, bite, kick or rear without warning. Risk of injury is inherent in this activity.

All riders will need to wear a riding hat to the correct standard (provided free of charge if required).

Complaints


Should the unlikely situation arise that you have a complaint about any aspect of our arrangements, the complaint should be reported immediately to us in order that we may be given the opportunity to correct the matter during your ride.
