Good to know

What apparel and safety gear are required for a first lesson?

Riders must wear an ASTM/SEI-certified equestrian helmet and sturdy boots with a smooth sole and a distinct 1-inch heel. Long pants such as jeans or riding tights are required to protect your legs from saddle chafing.

No, beginner and intermediate riding programs supply trained lesson horses for students to ride during their scheduled sessions. Stables usually only require horse ownership or a partial lease once a rider advances to competitive showing.
