Rainbow Canyon Ranch

Boarding/Training Rules and Regulations

Please respect our posted ranch hours. No smoking, cars, or dogs in the barn area. No one is allowed to use any equipment or machinery without permission from the manager or a staff member.

Any person under the age of 18 must wear an ASTM approved helmet while mounted; RCR strongly recommends that all persons wear an ASTM approved helmet while mounted. RCR requires all riders wear an ASTM approved helmet during lessons.  Boarders may use any arena that is not being used by RCR staff for training and/or lessons. No one may jump without supervision in any ring; a staff member must grant permission to use the jumps in Ring 1.

Boarders must have their stall door closed or a stall guard up when the horse is in the stall. The door must be closed when you are not at the stall. A stall guard does not constitute a closed door. A halter and lead line, or a bridle must be on the horse when outside the stall. Do not tie your horse anywhere but in the supplied crossties. Every horse must have a leather halter and green lead rope at the stall.

Boarders are not entitled to use any of RCR’s tack, equipment or supplies. Turnouts are limited to 20 minutes; training horses take priority. Boarders must stay within close proximity to the horse. There are no turnouts allowed in any of the riding rings.

Boarders shall advise the office if a horse is to be away overnight.  Individuals signing the boarding agreement are the only people to whom RCR is responsible. Only RCR personnel, owner, or owner’s family, or lessee may handle/ride a boarder’s horse without informing the office. If you wish to have a guest, ride your horse, all regulations apply and the guest must first sign the proper release forms. You will be held liable for the behavior and actions of your guest.

Absolutely no boarder will be allowed to take or request from our employees additional feed, bedding or any extra service without going through the management. Owners are expected to keep all areas used clean, and any feed storage approved by the management.

Boarders are expected to keep their horse in good health: worming every 90 days, teeth floated annually, current vaccinations, as well as regular shoeing.

No driving to or in the barn or paddock areas. RCR may make exceptions for dropping off feed and equipment, you must check with a staff member first, and alert any instructor before driving by any arena. Speed limit is 3 MPH.

It is expected that proper etiquette and courtesy be used while at the ranch. No running shouting or roughhousing is allowed on the property.

If you, your guests, your horse or horses cause any damage to stalls, paddocks or equipment, that is in excess of routine maintenance, we reserve the right to charge you accordingly.
