    ★★★★★ Shannon, Nov 2018

Starting English lessons

  1. Wear boots with a small heel. Paddock boots or any sturdy boot with a heel, with long pants or breeches.
  2. Ask about helmets. Many barns ask every rider to wear one. Ask whether they lend them.
  3. Ask what the barn focuses on. Hunters, jumpers, dressage or general riding: the barn's focus shapes your lessons.
