Terms of service

When making a purchase with The Galloping Guru, you agree that all equine activities come with a risk of injury or death. Horses are animals and can be unpredictable and in no way is The Galloping Guru, or it's partners, liable or responsible for any injuries you may incur from your involvement with horses. When you book a ride, you take responsibility for knowing your capabilities and for any accidents that may occur.

In the event of cancellations made by 72 hours or more, we will consider a credit. Credits are not applicable on retreats or multi-day events. Credits are only valid for 1 month from original ride date.
