Essential Eligibility Criteria: GSHCC programs provide an inclusive environment to all girls. Please reference our general Essential Eligibility Criteria for details about classroom and outdoor-focused activities that will help you identify the skills needed to participate in programs successfully. This activity has additional Essential Eligibility Criteria, including: Each participant must be able to: Riders must be at least 8 years old. Independently mount & dismount a horse, or do so with little assistance from an employee. Rapidly dismount when directed to on short notice in any terrain in situations where a horse might be in distress and rapid dismount is necessary for the safety of the rider and horse. Assistance to remount may not be possible in such situations. Balance independently in the saddle while traveling over rugged steep mountainous terrain, and negotiating obstacles such as rocks, deadfall, and mud. Control the horse by giving it signals to stop, move, turn left or right, and calm down. This is typically accomplished through leg, hand and/or voice signals. Weigh under 220 pounds, due to the horse's carrying capacity. Sit upright for an extended period of time with legs stretched out in front of you. Manage all personal mobility independently, or with the assistance of a companion, who is not an instructor. Wear appropriate attire- including closed toed shoes and long pants. Please contact customer care if you are unsure whether or not you meet the criteria, or if you need a reasonable accommodation.
