What to Bring for Carpathian History & Nature Ride


We recommend you bring your own helmet if possible for this ride as they are mandatory.  If not, there are a limited few around to borrow, but they are not property of the outfitter (they are forgotten helmets of past riders at the riding centre) and will not assume risk for their use.
All camping gear for your one camping overnight is provided, including plates, knives, forks, spoons and cups and glasses ... sleeping Bags are available for rent (please let Hidden Trails know if you need to rent one in advance) or bring your own. Bottled water is provided, along with water bottles and saddle bags for the horses. $USD or Euro will be fine; no need to change money into RON.
