Lesson Attire and Requirements:

• Jump vest required for all jump lessons
• Riders must wear boots with a hard 1/2-inch heel (no sneakers, sandals, or flat-bottom shoes allowed)
• Riders must wear long pants. Please do not wear tank tops. Chaps or half chaps are optional.
• All riders must wear a helmet. It is best to bring your own to ensure proper fit, but if you don’t have one, we have plenty to share.
• Due to age and size of our lesson ponies, we are unable to accommodate beginner riders over 180 lbs.

Scheduling and Cancellation Policies:

• Lessons are 45 minutes from start to finish. Riding time is approximately 30 minutes.
• Instruction is also provided on how to groom and properly tack up your horse. We will teach you both how to ride and to have excellent horsemanship skills.
• Arrive at least 10 minutes prior to your scheduled lesson time to provide adequate preparation time before meeting with your instructor. Being late will cut into your lesson time.
• If you arrive more than 15 minutes late, your lesson will be cancelled, and you will be charged full price.
• You must give 24 hours’ notice of any cancellations, or you will be charged the full price of a lesson.
• The instructor reserves the right to limit lesson time due to lack of concentration, low stamina, or weather conditions.

Lesson Etiquette for Students and Spectators:

• No running in or around the barn, arena, or pastures.
• Family members are always welcome to attend the lesson, but please do not disturb students during their lesson.
• We will not be responsible for supervising siblings/friends of students. Please keep a close eye on young children while at our facility.
• Please leave your family dog at home.
• We are not responsible for students after their scheduled lesson time had ended.
