Lesson FAQs

You will need:

• an ASTM certified riding helmet.The stable has a few helmets to borrow, but prefer if you get your own because they don’t clean the helmets and they may not fit you well. You can use them at your own risk, find a second hand one on Kijiji, or buy a new one (G&E Pharmacy has the best prices).
• Boots with a heel at least 1 cm tall. Boots with a heel prevent your foot from getting caught in the saddle’s stirrup. Most rubber boots are suitable, but for the winter try to find winter boots with a heel!

Once you have sent in a registration form and I confirm I have room for you at the time you’d like, I will send an invoice 1 month prior to lessons commencing. Half the invoice amount is due at that point to confirm your registration. The remaining balance for the session is due at your first lesson. I can accept eTransfer, cash, or cheque, and can send a PO to Wisdom Homeschooling or THEE.

Yes! There is a heated indoor arena for the cold months, and an outdoor arena for nice weather. For parents and siblings, there is a heated viewing room. For the horses’ comfort, and so they don’t get sweaty when we ride in the winter, the arena is only heated to 8 degrees, so please dress in warm layers.

Any students under 8 must be led by an adult or capable older sibling until they show they can control the horse by themselves. There is no age limit for adults!
