Closed toed shoes and long pants is all you need!
We have horses you can use for lessons and helmets.
We recommend long term students to purchase their own helmet, riding tights and boots. Helmets must be ASTM/SEI Certified.
Troxel and Charles Owen are the helment brands we allow on property. Troxel is our suggestion and can be purchased at Tractor Supply and Amazon.
We recommend riding boots to protect your feet, my favorite brand is Ariat I have a pair of boots still from 2008!!
We recommend riding tights with full seat grips whether your ride english or western. The full seat grips help your stability and balance while riding.
We do not receive any compensation for "advertising". These are listed for your convenience and safety.
A certified riding vest is required for any type of jumping on property regardless of age or experience, not using one can result in immediate dismissal.

Lessons being canceled due to weather must come from Caroline, not the client. Lessons can often be pushed back by 1-2 hours for same day reschedule, or rescheduled to a cooler day. Stay hydrated! :)
