Before the ride

  1. Ask about age and size rules. Each stable sets its own limits for pony rides. Ask before you go so no one is disappointed.
  2. Dress for the barn. Long pants and closed shoes. Leave sandals and flip-flops at home.
  3. Ask about helmets. Many stables provide riding helmets for children. Ask, or bring a riding helmet that fits.
