Again, safety is first and foremost. This means that crocs or other flimsy type of footwear may be worn in the barn or around horses. 

Boots - All riders must wear cowboy boots, paddock boots or tall English riding boots. No fashion boots. If you cannot afford to buy boots, let us know and we can help you find some.

Pants/Shirts - Leggings, jeans (western) or breeches must be worn. No shorts or skirts - even in the summer.

Helmets - ASTM/SEI Certified helmets must be worn at all times while on horseback. We provide helmets for the first lesson if needed, but recommend that riders purchase their own. They can be purchased at Tractor Supply or on Amazon.

Gloves - The more you advance the more you will want to wear gloves, particularly in the winter. There are a variety of affordable equestrian gloves available for all seasons.

Dress for the weather! Please bring a jacket or coat for winter lessons. Wear layers if in doubt.

Please do not wear dangly/loose jewelry.

Parents may watch lessons from the bench outside the arena.

Please limit the number of guests brought to lessons.

Please do not bring your pets.

Do not enter horse pastures without a barn staff member or explicit permission from a staff member.

Should a child have behavior issues, refuse to follow instructions or abandon a horse, the lesson will be ended and child returned to their parents. Repeat offenses will result in removal from the program.
