Do I need to own a horse to participate? No, we have school horses available for beginners through advanced. Can I take a lesson on a school horse if I own my own horse? Absolutely! We encourage it. It is extremely helpful to be able to learn to ride a movement on a schoolmaster before you try to teach it to your own horse. Our schoolhorses are not only for beginning riders. What do I need to wear if I don't already own riding gear? You need a helmet (we do have a few available to borrow), shoes with a heal, and long pants. If you don't have riding pants stretch pants are more comfortable than jeans.
