DeCarli Family Lesson Info

Disciplines: Hunter, Jumper, Equitation, and Special Needs
Levels: Beginner thru Advanced

Beginner lessons include learning how to get pony/horse from stall or pasture, grooming, and tacking/un-tacking. Once the student, (and parent, if parent is assisting) are comfortable doing these tasks on their own, the student should arrive half an hour early for lesson and plan on staying after the lesson to care for their mount.

Intermediate thru Advanced students are expected to arrive early, get their horse, groom, tack, & be ready for a lesson at their scheduled time. These students should be on their horse 5 - 10 minutes before their lesson warming up. These students are also expected to fully care for their horses after their lesson (approximately a half hour).
