Safety Tips For Riders
Our safety record at Karefree Ranch is impeccable and we aim to keep it that way. Safety is our number one concern for riders of all ages. We ask that everyone who visits the ranch takes a few moments to read and understand the important safety rules. Horseback riding can be one of the most enjoyable activities you'll ever experience and staying safe while doing it is important to everyone.
