Drop off is under the gazebo at the big arena. Enter the left side of the gate (there is a horse shoe on the gate to secure the it open so it doesn't blow shut on your car) The gazebo is to the right at the end of the big arena.

This is where we all circle up and introduce ourselves. We state our name, age, how long (or if) we've ridden before, a fun fact about you or about horses and if the clubber has a favorite horse. We get silly, but we also go over some safety rules.

We teach proper grooming, saddling and bridling as we get ready to ride the horses. Beginners are pair with a more experienced clubber or volunteer to give them more instruction.

Again Beginners are paired up with an instructor or knowledgable volunteer to give them personalized instruction on safety and control while riding.
Intermediate riders may free ride in the arena.

Depending on how many clubbers attend, we sometime split up the group where 3 to 4 clubbers will clean stalls, set up the feed and do water inside the barn while the other half rides. Then we switch out at 10:30 and the cleaners get to ride while the first group goes into the barn.

We bring the horses in from riding to untack them and cool them off. We make sure everything is cleaned up and the horses are fed and happy before gathering our stuff and heading to the gazebo for pick up.

We should be at the gazebo where you dropped off, but if we aren't there yet, it means we had too much fun and are running a few mins behind. Hang tight, we'll be out shortly.
