What is the Commercial Horse Pass?
The 2009 Minnesota Legislature amended MS 85.46, adding a new commercial annual horse pass effective January 1, 2010. The commercial horse pass is only sold through the DNR central office. This pass enables commercial riding facility owners to purchase horse passes which can be issued to riders that hire or rent horses from a commercial facility. Commercial facility owners can purchase 15 passes for $200 plus the $1 issuing fee; individual commercial passes are $20 plus the $1 issuing fee. Commercial riding facility owners will need to fill out an application and send it to the DNR central office. The Commercial Horse Pass application is available online. Contact the DNR central office License Bureau for more information.
