- Wear something you don't mind getting dirty! Long pants such as jeans, leggings, or breeches are highly recommended. Boots with a heel are ideal, but close-toed shoes are required. You do not need to purchase clothing for this course, but if you would like to continue through the riding school program in the future, Arizona Saddlery on Woodward is a local tack shop that you can visit. Amazon is also a good resource.
- If the student has long hair we recommend putting it in a low ponytail or braid is ideal so it is tied back for a helmet to fit on their head.
- Close-toed shoes are required
- Clothing that is OK to get dirty
- Recommendations:

  - A water bottle. We also have water fountains to refill water bottles

  - A hat for when helmets are not being worn
If you do have your own horseback riding helmet feel free to bring them! Make sure it is ASTM F1163-15/SEI certified and manufactured within the last 5 years. If you do not have a helmet, one will be provided for you!
Please do not bring treats for the horses as they all have unique diets and restrictions.
On the first day of camp we assign students to each horse. We do our best to match campers' personalities and abilities to their horses. However, no two horses or people are the same so we may need to change which horse the student rides. This is to ensure both the student and our horses are paired with someone they get along with!
Yes. We require that all students start at this level to learn about the horses and rules of the barn. You still can enjoy your horse time.
