LESSONS
Paris Farms believes in developing a complete relationship between the horse and rider. Lessons will include the following:
-
Learning how to prepare your horse for riding by grooming (brushing and picking hooves) and proper fit of tack. (saddle and bridle)
-
Handling your horse on the ground. (leading and proper mounting and dismounting)
-
After riding, care of your horse. (cooling down, brushing and properly putting away tack and horse)
-
Learn about horse behavior and especially rider safety.
