General

The duration of any lesson is adjustable based on the needs of the student. Private lessons are normally 30-45 minutes, while semi-private or group lessons run approximately one hour. Most of our lessons begin in the indoor ring, but once the student shows independent balance and control, the majority of our instruction takes place outside.

Since we teach basic horsemanship as a part of our lessons, we feel it is essential that our students take responsibility for the horses they will be riding. Students should arrive for their lesson 15-20 minutes early to groom and tack up their horse, and are expected to stay after their lesson to ensure their horse is groomed and that their tack has been cleaned and put away correctly. All activities will be supervised by one of our staff members to make sure that everything is done safely and efficiently.

For safety, students must wear a light boot that covers the ankle with no more than a half inch heel.

ASTM/SEI approved helmets are mandatory for all mounted riders. We have a number of certified helmets available for students who do not have their own.

Clothing should be well fitted with shirts tucked for safety and so the instructor can accurately assess the rider's position.
