↣ Dress attire: Riding boots, long pants, and an equine riding safety helmet. Students should not wear anything shiny, flashing, or inappropriate nor should they wear long dangling earrings. If the student shows up in inappropriate attire then he/she will be participating in a non-riding lesson. We will provide a helmet until you purchase your own. Certified riding boots will need to be bought at the soonest possible time.
↣ Students will ride multiple different types of horses and will not stick with just one horse throughout their time at the school, as doing so helps them to be more confident and competent riders.
↣ Students will from time to time participate in non-riding lessons to further their understanding of horses and the sport of horse riding. These lessons may be given on days with poor weather as well as good weather days.
↣ Lessons longer than an hour for any reason are at the discretion of the trainer and may contain elements other than riding such as ground work etc.
