Jodhpur pants and paddock shoes are appropriate for young children. Hair should be neatly hidden under hat with clips and hair nets. Tank tops and shorts are not considered proper attire.

RESPONSIBILITIES
Allow at least 30 minutes prior to your lesson to groom and tack your horse. You should be mounted and prepared for instruction at the proper time. Small children may require assistance from an adult. At the end of each lesson the rider is responsible for grooming his mount, cleaning his tack, and returning all equipment to its proper place. This takes approximately 30 minutes. Please make payments for riding before preparing for your lesson.

BOARDING
Lochmoor Stables provides worry-free, full care boarding. We take care of daily turnout, blanketing, grooming, vet & farrier appointments and follow-ups, laundry, and supplies.
