Safety Requirements

Safety is extremely important to us, therefore all students must abide by the following guidelines at all times.

• Long pants must be worn.

• Hard soled riding shoes or boots with heels must be worn — No Sneakers!

• ATSM/SEI approved helmets MUST be worn when mounted on a horse. Helmets may be rented for $2.00 per lesson.

• Barn and horse safety rules (posted, written, or verbal instruction) must be followed at all times.

Cancellations

If you need to cancel or change your lesson, please give at least 8 hours’ notice so we can adjust staffing. Repeated (the second and subsequent) failure to give at least 8 hours’ notice WILL RESULT in the student being charged for the missed lesson. The student will not be allowed to take another lesson until the missed lesson fee is paid. A “no show” will result in the student’s normally scheduled lesson time being forfeited and the student will not be allowed to take another lesson until the missed lesson fee is paid.
