How to Prepare

At Beaver Creek Stables, our first priority is YOU, our guests. In order to ensure you have the smoothest, most relaxing horseback riding experience on your vacation to the Vail and Beaver Creek, here are a few tips on making sure you're prepared before you get here.

Clothing:

Wear long pants and layers if you are coming early or late in the day. Enclosed shoes are required. Please wear a hat as the sun in the Colorado Rockies is quite intense - remember, you're at a high altitude. Rain slickers without hoods are provided in the event of rain, which is frequent on afternoon rides. Please bring any additional rain gear you see fit, and a fleece or a sweatshirt if the weather report calls for it.

Sunscreen:

PLEASE APPLY SUNSCREEN PRIOR TO YOUR ARRIVAL. We have sunscreen available at the stables if you forget to bring it.

Water:

Please bring a water bottle with you to ensure against dehydration. Again, living at high altitudes means staying hydrated and well rested. If you do not have one, we have water and/or water bottles for sale at the stables.

Carrying Gear:

A horn bag (tote) will be provided to you upon your arrival so that you can carry any additional items you may need, your water, and extra clothing.

Children:

If you have young toddlers or children under the age of 7, please be prepared with diapers, wipes, snacks, water/juice, extra clothing, hats, long pants, enclosed shoes, and sunscreen.
