What The Instructor Should Ask You...

If  you have any riding experience?

What sports do you participate in and what's your general fitness level?

What are your goals?

Thoroughly read all stable policies so you will know how you are expected to pay, how missed lessons are dealt with and other responsibilities. 

By an ASTM approved riding helmet.  Bicycle and other helmets do not provide the same protection as a helmet designed for horseback riders.  (We will provide one for you if you don't have your own).

Buy proper fitting boots with minimal tread and a heel approximately one inche high.  Used riding boots available at some tack shops (horse equipment stores) are quite affordable.  Jodhpur boots go just past the ankle and are more comfortable but tall boots may provide more grip.

Find stretch pants, riding tights, riding breeches, or jodhpurs.

Chose a comfortable T-shirt or sweatshirt.  Dress in layers in cold weather.
