When
About This Opportunity
Arrive a minimum of 30 mins prior to the start of the lesson. If you have to get two horses ready you may want to arrive a minimum of 60 mins prior to the start of the lesson. Sign-in, review the tack assignment sheet and then get the necessary tack out for the horses that you need to
get ready. Once all their tack is out then bring in each horse to prepare them for their lessons.
Please make sure that horses are ready 15 mins prior to the start of the lesson as leaders will be arriving to take them into the arena to warm-up. You may also be a leader so please keep that in mind with time management. You may also be asked to take a horse into the arena to warm it up even if a
rider doesn’t require a leader. Sometimes if there are two riders in a lesson the instructor needs an extra set of hands until both riders are mounted.
Between lessons: Depending on the schedule you may need to get another horse or horses ready or you may have some time to help keep the barn tidy (make sure stalls are clean, do they have fresh shavings, clean tack, sweep (we sweep the barn numerous times a day), clean a paddock, clean
auto-waterers etc.
