Class meets every Monday and Thursday evening from 7 p.m. until 8:30 p.m. You will not need to bring your horse to the first two sessions, but are encouraged to use your own horse for all subsequent classes.

Class Expectations

It is expected that all students will arrive on time with the necessary equipment. This also includes the unloading and tacking up of your mount. Although this is an in-hand class, students should be prepared for a dress rehearsal once per month. Also, each student is responsible for the actions of their horse. If you have a problem equine, this is not the class for you. However, contact me so I can offer some guidance on this issue.
All barn rules must be followed. Absolutely no smoking!

Class Objectives

Students will receive a personal assessment of skills and abilities in the 3rd class session. Based on this assessment, the instructor will tailor drills and exercises to improve any deficiencies. There will be two mock shows in which the student must participate in. Additionally, the instructor will work with each student�s horse to improve its performance as well.
