Sunset Horseback Riding
Details
I wanted to host an event that this group has never done before - horseback riding. This is a beautiful two-hour ride at Rocky Creek Park on the east side of Benbrook Lake, south of Fort Worth. The lake views are adorned by the sunset, which is unique every time. The ride will be on the opposite side of the lake for approximately an hour before sunset to reach the perfect spot for spectacular views. The colors of the sky and clouds reflect down on the lake’s waters so be sure to bring your cameras and/or phones for this ride.
- This ride will last for two hours (4:00 PM to 6:00 PM)
- You must arrive 30 minutes prior to the ride start time to allow for check in
- If you arrive late, and the group is ready to go at 4:00 PM, we will depart without you and no refunds will be issued
- You MUST purchase your ticket online PRIOR to the event
- They only allow 10 riders per event so please be sure to purchase early to to secure your spot
It's ok if you have never gone horseback riding before as they will give instructions followed by a demonstration. You can also read some instructions prior to the event: https://touchofchromepaints.com/first-time-riders/
Now for some important details:
- The weather is forecasted to be sunny with a high of 75 degrees this day. However, since this is subject to change, please be sure to dress in layers
- If the forecast changes and there is a 30% or more chance of rain, they will change the start time or reschedule the ride
- You must wear jeans and boots. If you do not have boots, hard sole, lace up sneakers are ok. Absolutely no slip on tennis shoes, flip flops, etc.
- Hats must have a string on them to keep them from blowing off in the wind (i.e. no baseball caps)
- No rider can exceed 230 pounds. Each person will be weighed upon check in. If you are over 230 pounds, you will not be permitted to ride and no refund will be given
- Helmets are not required but are available for use, if you would like one
- Every rider must sign a waiver. You can download and print it to bring with you or sign one upon arrival. A link will be sent with your confirmation e-mail
- Be prepared to secure your possessions you bring on the ride as they are not responsible for lost or damaged items
The cost of this event is $137.11, including taxes and fees. Tickets may be purchased here: https://touchofchromepaints.com/services/horseback-trail-riding/sunset-rides/
In the event you must cancel, they do require a 24 hour advance notice in order to issue a full refund. Failure to call and cancel with that much advance notice will result in a $75 cancellation fee. Keep in mind that the day before is Christmas so they may be closed. With that being said, I'd plan on cancelling no later than end of day on 12/23 (if needed) to receive a full refund.
This will be the last event I host in 2025 so if you are unable to make it, I will see you in 2026!
