About Your Lesson
Prepare for your first lesson by wearing long pants and closed-toed shoes. Park at the barn and remember, if under 18, a helmet is required. Lessons last an hour, and you may not ride immediately as we condition you to the horse. We encourage you to bring your own helmet and water, but we provide water, helmets, and snacks. If you have to cancel or reschedule, please email. No-shows and self-cancellations 12 hours before the lesson will still result in a charge. Please arrive 10-15 minutes before your lesson.
