How old does my child have to be to participate?+There is no specifc age range for participants. Participation in our program is based on the individuals specific needs rather than age requirement. What happens if I ( or my child) has to miss a lesson,or if we arrive late?+If you or your child will not be able to attend the lesson, we request that you provide us 2 hours notification so that we can contact our volunteers timely. We encourage our riders to arrive 5 minutes before their scheduled lesson. We will accommodate the rider's remaining time if they are less than 15 minutes late. However, arriving 15 or more minutes late for your lesson results in loss of the lesson. In any of the scenarios the full cost of the lesson is charged. How should I or my child dress for a lesson?+Long pants and closed-toe shoes will give you the most comfort and safety during your lesson. Also remember to dress according to the weather, gloves or mittens, hats, jackets in the colder months. Can I wear my own bike helmet?+When you are around or on a horse you will need to wear an ASTM-SEI approved riding helmet. Althelas will provide the helmet. You cannot wear your own bike, motorcycle or ski helmet.
