Important Guidelines for Riders
For your safety and comfort, we require all riders to wear appropriate riding attire. Tennis shoes, while comfortable, are unsafe as they don't allow proper positioning in the stirrups. Long, fitted pants and closed-toed, low-heeled boots are required. Please avoid baggy clothing and tie back hair that falls past shoulder length.
Recommended attire:
Riding boots: A low-heeled boot is ideal for both English and Western disciplines. We recommend paddock boots: https://a.co/d/9IY4zRZ
Riding pants: Girls may find riding breeches or tights more comfortable: https://a.co/d/0gCoZlk
Jeans and cowboys boots work well for Western disciplines.
Half chaps are recommended for additional support and protection, but not required: https://a.co/d/fKNAqZM
Helmets are required for all riders. While we offer a limited number of helmets, we recommend purchasing your own for the best fit and comfort: https://a.co/d/7LSTe1N
