Lesson Preparation
You must arrive at least 15 minutes before your lesson and plan to stay after your lesson to properly take care of your horse. We use the demerit system of 1 hour of "hard labor" for equipment left out or put on improperly and for horses not properly taken care of. If you do not know how to do something A S K !!!! If horses have been jumped they must be walked at least 15 minutes before putting them away!

Boots, chaps, hard hats (we have loaners) and hair properly put up and shirt tails put in.

Use of Horses
The Clay Hill horses and ponies are available for local and A-Rated horse shows. The charge is $50 which includes a coached practice prior to the show. Trailering is around $50 and coaching for the day is $50. You are responsible for getting your horse ready and if you cannot braid or clip and this needs to be done, you will have to pay someone to do this for you.
