Notes
& Updates
Hi everyone -
Well the cold weather looks like it is upon us.
We have had a lot of questions regarding winter riding
and what the guidelines are as far as lessons go.
We teach year round.
We will only cancel lessons if we know the
following things listed below:
- The temperature is to remain under 20 degrees.
This becomes unhealthy for the horses to exert
themselves and uncomfortable for us all.
- The roads are treacherous surrounding us.
We do run into issues after a bad ice storm where
the roads become dangerous. If this happens,
we will call everyone at least an hour and a half
prior to the lesson day starting and inform you.
Good rules of thumb for you and/or your children:
- Even though it is chilly, you will still get
warm as riding is a physical activity. Please
make sure to wear layers so that you or your child
are able to remove layers while still be bundled
well enough to stay warm.
- Please make sure to wear gloves. We do
recommend that you get winter gloves that are made
for horseback riding. Please see us and we can
help guide you to websites or stores that carry
them.
- You or your child will still have to wear a
helmet and CANNOT wear a hat underneath it as
it jeapordizes the effectiveness of the helmet in
case of a fall. As such, there are some really
nice ear muffs that you can buy now that will fit
around the back of the head and over the ears.
You can get them at any major department store and
they seem to work very well.
Thanks and as always, please make sure to reach out
if you have any questions.
