Riding is a fun and rewarding activity and horses are beautiful, but they are large and can be unpredictable. Before you start riding, you need to know that riding is a risk sport. However, it does not need to be any more dangerous than any other risk sport when the rider takes precautions. Although it is impossible to eliminate all risks, by following these simple rules for horse riding safety, the possibility of injury can be greatly reduced.

• Riding hats or helmets MUST be worn at all times when riding, and are paramount to safety. It must conform to standards BSI with secured chin strap. (We can provide riding hats to current BSI regulations free of charge if you need to borrow them. They are available in the arena.)
• Wear properly fitting footwear with a small heel to prevent your foot from slipping through the stirrup. NO flat-sole shoes or trainers. NO open toe footwear.
• Wear appropriate clothing – preferably made from comfortable stretchy material e.g. jodhpurs, leggings, trackies. Note that jeans can be uncomfortable.
• Absolutely nothing should flap. No loose scarves.
• Excessive jewellery should be removed and nothing that could get caught like hoop erarrings.
• We insist all under 16 yrs wear body protector for jumping but strongly recommend everyone wears one. We have them available to use in the arena free of charge.
• DO NOT mount your horse until an instructor is present.
• Please advise staff of any relevant medical complaint.
• If you require assistance, please ask a member of staff.
