What are your hours?

We are open by appointment (scheduled lessons) only or for scheduled programs such as camps. Please aim to arrive no more than five minutes before the start of your scheduled lesson or program

Do you have recommendations about what students and/or camp participants should wear?

Yes, we do! Thank you for asking.

• A raincoat (in spring, summer, or fall) or a warm, snow-proof jacket (in winter)

• Rain pants or snow pants

• Comfortable boots that can get wet

• Weather appropriate clothing that you don’t mind getting dirty (warm hat and gloves or mitten essential in the winter)

• An ASTM certified helmet (can be a ski or bike helmet but must fit properly, be in good condition, and meet current safety certification standards). 

Footwear needed for riding sessions:

• In order to have the option to ride, participants will need to wear boots with a heel (doesn’t have to be a big heel but, for safety when using stirrups, participants cannot ride in flat soles boots or shoes). 

What to expect when you arrive at the first day of a day camp?

For camps, please check your order confirmation email to confirm what day(s) you’ve signed up for.

Please plan to arrive a few minutes before the start time so you have time to park and find your way to the barn. (Note: If arriving more than 5 minutes before your program or lesson or camp start, please wait in your vehicle as the barn area may not yet be accessible or supervised.

Parents/Guardians should plan to stay for about 15 minutes after the start of the first lesson or day of camp to review safety information and sign any additional releases necessary for participation.

What should day camp participants bring?

• A water bottle (with water)

• Lunch (full day programs only)

  • preferably one that can be hand held in a baggie, wrap, or package (participants will be able to wash hands before eating but, for extra caution m, we encourage you to pack snacks that reduce the risk of dirty hands touching food)

• A willingness and interest in learning about and from the horses.

• Weather-appropriate clothing and helmet (please see below for more details)
