Frequently Asked Questions



  1. Do you teach children?   Yes!
  2. How old do they have to be?    I do not have a set age limit.  I prefer to meet and work with the child one time before deciding.  All kids are different and each has a unique learning style.  However, please note that the sheer lack of strength in a young child plays a large part in their ability.
  3. Do they have to wear helmets?  YES!
  4. Do you supply any gear?  I have helmets.  It is preferable to purchase your own helmet if you will be having more than one or two lessons. 
  5. What should they wear on their feet?  Boots. They may take the first lesson with no boot.  After that lessons will be conducted on the ground until they wear a proper boot.  NO open toes allowed.  
  6. Do you teach adults?   Yes!
  7. Do you have to own your own horse?  NO!  We use my well trained horses and ponies.
