14. Please abide by all NO HORSE and NO TRESPASSING signs and please stay on the designated trails. We ride on private lands as well as public and there are some areas that the private landowners do not want us to ride in. They have marked these areas with signs, please do not abuse their generosity.
15. We no longer allow the use of sawdust, as can be hauled from local sawmills, for stall bedding as it has become a breeding ground for flies. In order to control the fly population we must be able to clean the stalls after each ride and let them dry. The use of sawdust as bedding creates a breeding ground for flies because the sawdust never lets the ground inside the stalls dry out. Therefore, we no longer allow the use of sawdust. You may buy bedding at the front gate or bring your own. You may use straw, wood shavings or chips, or dried pellets.
16. CROSS COUNTRY TRAIL RIDE LLC takes no responsibility for acts of god. We do not refund or credit for bad weather or unforeseen events caused by circumstances beyond our control. We make every effort to keep our guests well informed in the event of bad weather, but cannot be held responsible for it.

18. Manure left on the campground by animals not in a stall (i.e. at horse wash, farrier, vet shack, at trailers in campsties, etc.) must be removed by the end of the day and placed in a designated container. In the event of rain, immediately removing any manure from these areas and placing it in a designated storage container will be appreciated.
19. Horses may be tied at your campsite for the length of time it takes to groom and saddle. You may not leave animals tied at your campsite for extended periods of time.
20. Horses may be bathed at the horse wash only effective January 1, 2005. You may no longer bathe your horses at your campsite or barn as mandated by the State of Missouri. Please help us cooperate with state regulations by following this rule.
21. There will be no tampering with or otherwise altering the electrical boxes in our campground. Anyone caught altering an electrical outlet will be asked to pack and leave immediately with no refund being given. This is a serious hazard to the person altering the box as well as to those camped around him! We will have a ZERO tolerance policy to activity of this type!
