Riders Dress Code

 

All riders are required to wear:

 

  • Riding helmets must be worn at ALL times when riding. This can be your own or you can borrow one of ours at no extra cost. 

  • Boots to prevent the foot from slipping through the stirrup iron. Sandals, flip-flops, or other open-toe shoes are not allowed. 

  • Long pants (riding pants, sweatpants, yoga pants, etc.) should be worn.

  • No flapping jackets. If worn, jackets must be zipped or buttoned while riding.

 

General Conduct

 

The following guidelines will keep you safe when visiting Bailey Oaks Farms:

 

  • DO NOT enter any of the stables or pastures unless you are accompanied by a member of staff, or you have been given permission to collect your horse for a lesson.

  • DO ensure that you read all notices we have displayed to help keep you informed and also to keep you and those around you as safe as possible.

  • DO NOT run around the farm at any time, always walk.

  • During your lesson, listen to the instructor and be aware of the other horses and riders.

  • If you feel unable to carry out part of the lesson, tell the instructor and they will either give you some extra help or advise you to omit that exercise.

  • ALL parents are responsible for the good conduct of their children when they are not riding and must not allow them to run around unsupervised to ensure their safety and that of other riders.
