How old do children have to be?

Children 7 years and older can begin to ride at our West Glacier and Apgar Corrals. Children 8 years and older can begin to ride at our Lake McDonald and Many Glacier Corrals.

Higher age minimums may apply for certain trails and locations, such as Apgar Lookout, due to length of rides or difficulty of terrain. All children must ride their own horse. We do not allow “double riders”, where a child rides in a parent’s lap. We do not allow children in backpack baby carriers. Children must be 48 inches or taller and 48 pounds or more, even if they fit the age requirement.

If your child does not meet all the above requirements, they cannot ride.

Children under 13 must be accompanied by an adult.

All children (including teens under 18) who are able to participate will be required to wear a helmet.
