We have a few rules at LB Ranch, involving saftety issues. The rules
are as follows:
Riders must wear boots with a heel of at least 1.5 cm. (Cowboy boots are the ideal, but any shoe
or boot with a heel will do). Absolutely no runners, track shoes, or sandals will be allowed
for prospective riders.
Riders are encouraged to wear safety helmets, at all times when working around the horses, or
riding the horses. Riders under the age of eighteen (18) years MUST wear helmets or have
written parental consent for non-use of a helmet.
Always leave gates as you found them, and respect others'
property by not riding on the farm fields unless otherwise permitted.
Important to Remember:
Since we do not have indoor riding facilities, you need warm clothes to ride in the "balmy"
Manitoba winter weather. (Sorels or other heavy warm boots are recommended, as well as layering of clothing, and a good, warm
hat and mitts or gloves.)
We have 2 outdoor arenas, one round pen (for training and beginning lessons), 2X40 acre
pastures, which we rotate throughout the spring, summer, fall and winter.
There are also many interesting trails
to ride on in all seasons.
Our barn has a thirty horse capacity. We offer: 7 Box stalls, the rest
are standing (tie) stalls.
As previously stated, we bring the horses in for the night, and if the weather
is very cold, with high windchills, we turn them all out for a drink of water and to stretch their legs, while we clean the
barn, re-bed and then bring them right back in again.
