Rider 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:

Keep the windows in the observation room closed for the safety of the students.
