For those new to the sport, what to wear?
* layers so you can be warm during the cool evenings or in the barn after your lesson
*a boot or shoe with a one inch heel (called paddock boots)
*long pants which are snug but not too tight. Jeans are fine, so long as there is no back pocket “bling” decoration (this will scratch the saddle) with minimal inside seam is recommended.
*gloves are recommended but not necessary, we will provide you with a safety approved helmet.
*water on site is from a well, but potable, however feel free to bring your own if you wish!
We teach in a large indoor riding arena, in weather no colder than minus 15 degrees, not including wind chill. Check the home page for local temperatures. We head out to teach in one of several outdoor riding rings as soon as weather permits.
