We are not discriminating against heavy people. These are safety issues for the riders as well as the horses.

The Crosspatch Ranch reserves the right to refuse potential riders if their physical size or ability could result in an unsafe ride. Our goal is to have as many people as possible to have safe, enjoyable rides.
