• ●  Tacking / Untacking / Grooming / Arrival Time

  • ○  Groom your horse ​before​ and ​after​ the lessons. Plan 30 minutes or more after your lesson to cool your horse-bathe (when warm), sponge (when cool), or use a cooler (when cold). Then turnout (if they are going out). Ask your instructor for specific instructions daily!

  • Arrive at the time of your lesson. Arriving early will not allow for additional time during the lesson. Arriving late will take away from your lesson time.
