We all love to come and enjoy the horses but we do need to remember that they, as we, have minds of their own. When you bring your child for lessons, come on in an “sit a spell”, its fun to watch the kids as their confidence grows while riding these beautiful animals.

Weather Conditions for Riding
It is my oppinion that if the weather isn't 20 or warmer that we do not have the little kid classes. As far as the morning classes, we have been riding when it was 10 or above and doing ok. You really need to dress for it, however, and I have had some that are not comfortable riding at that temp. If it is warm enough to ride, be sure to still wear a lot of layers. Long john (not cotton is preferable) under you jeans, a long sleeve, preferable not cotton thermal top, and poly fleece sweater on top of that and a real coat, not just a sweat shirt, all you teenagers, gloves, hat (a think poly fleece that can go in your helmet is best) and warm socks. Don't wear socks that are too tight for your feet in your boots or your feet will get cold anyway. We can still have fun in this weather if we do a good job outfitting ourselves. Watch the weather. If you have any questions about whether we are riding or not, give Jen or Sherrie a call.
