Expectations and Barn Rules
|
Rider Expectations:
* All lesson students should arrive at the lower barn 15
minutes before their lesson begins to check their horse assignment and walk up
the hill. Please try to be on time as it is difficult to join a lesson after it
has started.
* Lessons will be
cancelled in extreme weather situations. We
will try to contact you but please call the barn to check if you are in doubt.
* Please wear riding britches, long pants or jeans, and
hard-soled boots with a small heel. Riding helmets are required and may be
borrowed from the barn if needed.
Spectator Expectations:
* Do not stand in or block the aisle ways when horses are
moving through.
* Keep the windows in
the observation room closed for the safety of the students.
* All visiting children must be under direct adult
supervision at all times while on the property.
* No gate climbing, yelling, or running at any time.
