Frequently asked questions.
-
We accept students from age five and up. Five and six year olds have 30 minute lessons, while students seven and up have 45 minute lessons. This is to ensure our youngest students have the most positive experience possible while they’re just starting out.
-
There’s nothing we value more than the safety of our students. To ensure proper hygienic practices as well as following the recommendations of helmet manufacturers, we do not provide helmets to our students.
As for equipment, all you are required to have to begin lessons is a properly fitted helmet and foot-ware with a heel (such as Blundstones, paddock boots or rain boots). However, though it’s not a requirement to ride, we do also recommend having a crash vest, gloves, and properly fitted riding breeches as well.
-
The minimum commitment for riding students is by the month, as lesson schedules are created in monthly blocks. Our school doesn’t operate on semesters, allowing you to start and stop lessons at any time.
-
In order to best instruct each student, we offer exclusively private lessons. This allows the full attention of the instructor to be placed on the student to create an environment optimized for learning.
