Horse Rental Butte Creek Ranch has over 30 horses they use with the Scouts Program. They have offered to rent to us horses at $100 each for Sat and Sun with unlimited riding. The ranch has insurance and waivers for their riding program, and those who wish to rent horses would do so as a separate deal, between them and the ranch. If the ranch is OK with rental horses participating in NCWC activities at Winter Quarters this would mean trail riding and drill only—no shooting. The ranch may also require that riders on rental horses must be accompanied by one of the ranch's wranglers at all times. The NCWC will not rent ANY horses. If an individual would like to rent a horse that is their option and they are responsible for their own safety as an individual contracted with the park. Rental riders will not be allowed to ride the horse in any NCWC training untested. If they want to ride in training the horse and rider must pass all testing for the level at which they want to participate. If any evaluator says no pass to the evaluation then they are not allowed to participate. These may be the greatest horses in the world but no one in the club knows them! Under our current rules, those passed at the Advanced level can ride ANY horse outside of battle scenarios without further testing. Any non-advanced riders would of course, need to be evaluated.
