Spring/Fall Packing List

• Jeans or traditional riding pants.
• Pull-on boots with a heel for riding (adults may wear lace-ups, but we prefer that they wear the pull-on variety if possible).
  • While we do have a small selection of boots for you to borrow from we can’t guarantee boots for every guest. You can find great inexpensive boots at Sheplers.com (we suggest: Old West, Justin, Ariat and Roper).
• Wool layers and socks. We suggest SmartWool.
  • Multiple layers are your best bet for staying warm- a great wool base layer, with fleece, flannel or down as a secondary layer should guarantee you a toasty warm vacation!
• Helmets – if you have your own and prefer to use it you sure can, but we do provide helmets and require all guests 17 and younger to wear helmets.
• Cowboy hats or ball caps are appropriate headwear for adult horseback rides.
  • We ask that a hat clip, or stampede string be worn with cowboy hats. Both of these items can be purchased at our store if needed.
  • We also recommend bringing warm hats or heard bands, and scarves as the average daytime temperatures drop quite a bit in the Fall.
    • Make sure that your hat covers your ears!
• Chaps or half-chaps (optional)
• Riding gloves (optional)
  • A pair of fitted gloves/or ski glove liners: remember that you don’t generate any heat on the back of a horse so it is important to keep your head and hands covered.
• FOR THE LADIES – a sports bra for riding.
• Swimsuits for the pool and hot tub, and for the reservoir rides that your kids’ counselors might take your kids on.
• Flip-flops/sandals
• Tennis shoes
  • The C Lazy U offers a myriad of non-equine related activities such as tennis, basketball, etc.
• Rain jackets or long slickers
  • These can be placed into your saddle bags or tied to your saddle while riding.
  • We ask that you don’t bring ponchos, as they catch the wind and present a safety hazard when riding a horse.
• Dinner Attire for Adults
  • Although there is not a dress code in our dining room, adult dinner attire has been described as Ranch Cocktail Attire or Western Chic – men usually wear jeans (or slacks) and a nice button down, and women have been seen in ranch/western dressy skirts and tops, or jeans and dressy western tops. Have a little fun with it– “cowboy-up” your cocktail attire!
• Coats/heavy jacket for the evening hours
• Sunscreen and bug spray if you have a preferred brand.

We provide the following:

• Sunscreen
• Bug spray
• Helmets
• Small selection of riding boots
• Refillable water bottles
