Starting Western lessons

  1. Wear boots with a heel. Western boots or any boot with a heel, with jeans.
  2. Ask about helmets. A riding helmet makes sense in any style. Ask whether the barn lends them.
  3. Ask what the barn focuses on. Trail, ranch work, reining, speed events or general riding: the barn's focus shapes your lessons.
