Do I need a helmet?All Participant are required to wear an ASTM/SEI approved helmet while participating in any mounted activity. Due to sanitary and liability reasons, Texas Equine requires students to provide their own personal riding helmets. Helmets can be purchased directly from Texas Equine as inventory is available, in person from retailers such as Dover Saddlery, Tractor Supply or from online retailers such as Amazon or eBay. *Bicycle helmets are not acceptable protective wear. Used helmets are permitted. However, please note that helmets should be replaced every five years, so be aware of the manufacture's date provided on the tag inside the helmet. When you purchase a helmet, please register it with Texas Equine, and we will provide a reminder of helmet expiration to make it easy for you to be able to maintain safety while participating in horsemanship activities.
-
What should I expect during my first lesson?Texas Equine requires a signed Liability Release before your first lesson. A link for the form will be provided after booking. Please complete one form for each family member who is participating in activities. After the appropriate paperwork is completed, you will learn how to groom and saddle your horse. Once the horse is ready to ride, you will mount and learn/review basics such as how to go, stop and turn. After the riding portion of the lesson, you will unsaddle the horse and cool them down appropriately. The first lesson focuses on how to safely interact with the horses on the ground and while riding. This lesson is also used to create a baseline to establish your riding goals. Helmets are available to borrow for the first lesson.

If that lesson is NOT rescheduled within the six (6) day window or subsequently cancelled again, the lesson amount will be invoiced. This policy is in place to maintain a consistent schedule and to fund the maintenance that our amazing lesson horses require. The schedule closes twelve (12) hours prior. No cancellation fee will be invoiced if the service is rescheduled or cancelled by a Texas Equine Staff Member.
