      1. All students under age 18 MUST wear an ASTM approved helmet. While we do have helmets available, we do encourage you to have your own. Riders over age 18 are strongly encouraged to wear a helmet while mounted. We will ask you to sign a waiver if you do not wish to wear a helmet.
      2. If the student is unable to groom and tack their own horse, their lesson will include learning how to do so safely.
      3. Please be ready for your lesson at the designated time to assist in getting your horse ready for your lesson. If you are late to your lesson you will lose that time from your lesson. We recommend arriving at least 15 minutes before your designated lesson time unless told otherwise by your instructor.
      4.  Riders must wear a shoe or boot with a heel while riding. Open toed shoes or sandals should not be worn around horses.
      5. Riders must wear long pants. Shorts are not acceptable riding attire.
      6. Long hair should be secured in a safe manner. Pony tails or hair nets are recommended (but not required) to help keep hair out of the riders eyes.
      7. In the event of bad/severe weather, we will contact you prior to your lesson. If in doubt, please contact your instructor prior to your lesson time. Cancellations by your instructor due to weather are not subject to cancellation fees.

      9. Please leave your dogs or other small pets at home.
      10.
