  • How to safely retrieving the horse/pony, cross tying and brushing the horse/pony
  • Tacking up before and un-tacking after his/her lesson
  • How to properly take care of the horse/pony after exercise (hosing off in the warmer months, blanketing in the cooler months) and then how to safely return horse/pony to it's stall and put away all tack & brushes

Experienced riders will be required to obtain their own horse and tack up independently and be ready for their lesson at their set time.

Required attire for riding
 - Boots  (hard sole & 1” heel covering at least the ankle) short or tall, NO SNEAKERS!
 - Helmet  (approved ASTM standard), bring own helmet (Sea Star Stable does have a few older approved helmets for students to borrow until they get one of their own)
 - Long pants: if you don’t have riding pants, soft sweatpants or yoga type pants are best.

Cancellation Policy

If you need to cancel your lesson, I need to have at least 24 hours notice or you will be charged the lesson fee. The reasoning for this is simple; I have a very tight schedule with few openings. On occasion, people need to reschedule their usual lesson time; bad weather, appointments or I have a commitment. If someone else cancels and I know ahead of time, I can accommodate those that need to reschedule. As we are getting closer to fewer hours of daylight and worsening weather conditions, this becomes even more important. I understand that at certain times it is inevitable that you might need to cancel at the last minute but please understand why I have had to implement this policy.

In summary, if you need to cancel:
