Please review the following Farm Policies. All riders must review and acknowledge their understanding of these important rules when registering.
REQUIRED RIDING GEAR
Riders must use an approved USEF helmet that fits properly. No bike, ski, etc. helmets are allowed. Helmets are available to borrow at the farm if needed.
All students must wear paddock boots or shoes with a 1⁄4 - 1⁄2“ heel and a hard sole. Tennis shoes, rubber mud boots or high heels are not allowed.
Please wear warm clothes, gloves and boots. The indoor arena is protected from the elements but not heated, so warm clothes and layers are necessary.
RIDING PREPARATIONS
Arrive on time, which is typically 10 minutes before your scheduled ride time.
Lessons are cancelled if the temperature is above 90° or below 15°.
Instructors need the complete attention of their students. Parents are encouraged watch their students from the upstairs Observation Room to eliminate distraction.
No one is to enter the ring without permission.
FRIENDS AND FAMILY
Only students that have a signed release form are allowed to handle, brush, ride, and participate in any Shenanigans Farm horse activities. All others need to stay in designated areas.
All friends and family must stay in designated viewing areas; guests are not allowed in grooming areas, riding arenas, stalls or paddocks.
Do not allow children to run, yell or scream. We have many horses and riders that may be startled by these activities.
PROPERTY GUIDELINES
The speed limit through the farm is 5 MPH. We have many children, pets and horses that need to be kept safe from speeding cars.
Please stay away from pond.
Do not park on the grass.
Leave your dogs at home.
Please ask prior to petting or feeding any treats to any horses and ponies.
ATTENDANCE/MISSED CLASSES
One makeup date is offered per session.
Students should notify Shenanigans Farm if they are unable to attend class.
