top of the line lesson horses. You will learn about
the safety, comfort and challenges involved in
this sport. The Equine industry will instill self-confidence,
responsibility and courage to all.

Students are instructed in all phases of horse
care, grooming, saddling and riding. Lessons are
available for Western Riding, English Riding and
Jumping. Indoor and Outdoor arenas are available.
PRACTICE
RIDING
Available to students only. Horses may be rented
for practice riding, one hour in length. Students
are urged to take advantage of this inexpensive
opportunity to gain extra riding time. Practice
riding allows the rider to review their lessons,
improve their riding skills and physical condition.

Appropriate Attire
Winter has arrived! Please dress your child & yourself according to the weather. Warm clothing and gloves are needed for proper riding. Also, we are recommending that each student has their own approved helmet for both safety and sanitary reasons. A proper fitting helmet is important! See Amy or Virginia for information on purchasing helmets. Anyone inside the barns must wear appropriate sport attire. All employees, riders, siblings, and parents should have safe footgear. Flip-flops and sandals should not be anywhere near any animals or in barns. Shirts must be long enough to tuck into pants with a belt for all riders and employees. Pants should be long enough to cover ankles to prevent saddle sores. No one is allowed to ride in shorts or sneakers. Hair pulled back to ride!
Heated Rooms are provided for your comfort.
Please shut the bathroom & lounge doors completely when exiting. (The bathroom door has been left open several times causing the pipes to freeze.)
Treats
For your safety as well as the horses, please do not feed treats to any horses except your own. You may feed them carrots or an occasional apple, both of which must be cut up. Large carrots or apples of any size should never be fed whole.
