Children 6 years or older may ride the trail and must be accompanied by a parent or guardian, and children under 14 must be accompanied by an adult when riding.

Reservations require payment in full at the time of booking, there are no refunds, and rescheduling requests must be received 24 hours before the scheduled ride time. The program states that horseback riding is an athletic sport that takes some form of fitness and balance to ride a 1,000- to 1,200-pound live animal, and that mistreatment of a horse or guides will result in termination of the ride, with the rider walking back to the station and forfeiting the rate. Shaver Stable is now open for the 2026 season and lists real-time availability through its online booking program, with online or phone bookings accepted.
