  9. Grooming and tacking the horse is part of the lesson until riders are able to do it on their own. When riders are able to tack, show up 15 minutes before your lesson to tack your horse.
  10. Parents and visitors are welcome to observe students during their lesson by standing or sitting outside the arena. Parents and visitors should not enter the arena unless invited by the instructor.

Lesson rules

  1. Each lesson will last either thirty or forty-five minutes and will consist of mounting the rider on the horse, tack adjustments, actual riding time, and dismounting.
  2. The undersigned shall arrive, or ensure that the rider arrives, to each lesson fifteen minutes before scheduled riding time in order to groom and tack the horse. If the rider needs the instructor's help to tack the horse, then it will be part of the lesson until the rider is able to do it on their own. If the rider arrives late, their lesson will end at the scheduled time, resulting in shorter riding time.
  3. All lessons will be held unless temperatures are below 25 degrees or above 100 degrees.

You will be notified in a timely manner and not charged for the canceled lesson. Brentsville Stables has a 24-hour cancellation policy, which enables instructors to fill vacant lesson times. Lesson fees generate the resources necessary to maintain our riding program and care for our horses. Cancellations must be made at least 24 hours in advance of the scheduled lesson, or the full lesson fee will apply. Similarly, no shows are responsible for the full lesson fee. NO EXCEPTIONS. Late cancellations or no shows that do not pay the fee will result in the forfeiture of the lesson spot.

Attire

  1. The undersigned agrees to ensure that the rider wears proper attire for riding lessons, including long pants, shoes (boots with at least a half inch heel is recommended), and an ASTM approved riding helmet with an attached harness that fits properly. The rider must wear his/her approved riding helmet at all times when in the ring and during lessons.
