Intro to Horsemanship - Tuesdays 4:30p

Service Description

Lace up your boots and head to the arena! In this 8-week course, you'll learn the essentials of horsemanship—both on the ground and in the saddle—within a small group setting. This course is for beginner riders who have little to no previous riding experience. Designed for participants ages 7 and older, this course consists of eight classes. You'll need to commit to one day and time slot per week for the entire program, with limited opportunities for make-up classes. Important Guidelines for Riders: For your safety and comfort, we require all riders to wear appropriate riding attire. Tennis shoes, while comfortable, are unsafe as they don't allow proper positioning in the stirrups. Long, fitted pants and closed-toed, low-heeled boots are required. Please avoid baggy clothing, and tie back hair that falls past shoulder length. Recommended attire: -Riding boots: A low-heeled boot is ideal for both English and Western disciplines. We recommend paddock boots: https://a.co/d/9IY4zRZ -Riding pants: Girls may find riding breeches or tights more comfortable: https://a.co/d/0gCoZlk -Jeans and cowboys boots work well for Western disciplines. -Half chaps are recommended for additional support and protection, but not required: https://a.co/d/fKNAqZM Helmets are required for all riders. While we offer a limited number of helmets, we recommend purchasing your own for the best fit and comfort: https://a.co/d/7LSTe1N Gloves are necessary during cold weather months: https://a.co/d/eBH1Juy https://a.co/d/ez7VSZc Please Note: We enforce a 220 lb weight limit for the safety and wellbeing of our horses.
