General Information :

*   Every student will need to sign a release form BEFORE
         they will be permitted to ride.

*   Students are required to wear protective headgear
         while mounted.
           ( A helmet may be borrowed until acquiring your own,
             which is highly recommended, I can advise where
             to purchase one .)

*****

*    Riding boots or tennis shoes may be worn, no sandals.
           ( with soles that are not fashionably thick ... and
              tread that is not heavy or coarse,  as the rider's foot
              must be easily made free of the stirrup irons. )

*    Wear comfortable clothing; suited to the weather.
           (  breeches, sweat pants or jeans are appropriate;
               no shorts ... gloves are necessary in Winter.  )

*   In addition to riding instruction;  students will learn
          basic horsemanship skills, which include ...
          leading , grooming and how to tack up a horse.

*   Try to arrive at least 15 minutes early to confirm
          which horse you will be assigned to and to tack up. 
              ( Always advise your instructor as soon as you arrive. )

*   Please give at least 2 hours notice for cancellation
          or rescheduling.  ( instructors prepare their teaching
              schedule well in advance ... we feel that it is only fair
              to advise them  of any changes as soon as possible;
                   there will be a charge of 50% of the cost of a lesson
              for failure to contact Erika  RE: changes of plan. )

  “I believe that riding should be a fun and safe experience
for both the horse and rider.”
