Lesson 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.
           ( We recommend a riding helmet which meets
             the ASTM F1163 standard requirements
             for participation in equestrian sports ).

*    Riding boots. or shoes should have at least a 1/2" heel.
           ( 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 24 hours notice for cancellation
          or rescheduling.  ( our 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 Ernie or Kelly  RE: changes of plan ).

*    Arrangements can be made to bring your own horse
          for riding lessons,  and jumping.  
            ( Be sure to contact Ernie or Kelly at the BARN - a few days
              in advance in order to organize "special" arrangements
              and / or considerations ).
