- If you are bringing someone from outside of this stable to ride your horse they need to sign a liability release. Please see the stable manager.
- Lessons take priority, all boarders must give proper space to not interfere with the lesson. Please respect each other's space and needs. Do not leave your horse unattended in any area, including the riding arena.
