Riding Your Own Horse: 
Students may also bring their own horses for their lesson. Any horse coming to Running Star Ranch requires a negative Coggins test and proof of current
vaccinations.  We offer reduced lesson rates or longer lesson times for students who bring in their own horse.

 Payment Information:
Payments can be made at each lesson or on a monthly basis.  Monthly payments are due by the first lesson of the month or 7th, whichever comes first.  Payments made after the due date will no longer qualify for the monthly rate and default back to standard pricing.  We reserve the right to discontinue scheduling lessons if payments are not kept up to date.  Payments can be made online through Venmo, Cash or Check.

Lesson Information:  
Lesson time will include tack and groom time.

Our lesson program consists of four main components:  Ground Skills, Knowledge, Riding and Rider Fitness.  Riders are expected to know all aspects of horse care…you won’t get to “just ride”.  You will learn to lead, groom, tack up, pick hooves, cool out your horse, and care for your horse in a safe manner.  Students have the opportunity test for Level Achievements and receive a small prize for their accomplishment.  Level assessments are $21 to cover the cost of an additional instructor.

Lessons will be taught in Western or English.

Riding Attire:  
Proper riding attire is required for lessons.  Students must provide proper footwear (a boot with a 1/2″ heal, no tennis shoes) and must wear full-length pants, never shorts or capri pants.  Helmets are required for riders under 18 years old and recommended for all riders.  You may bring your own or we can provide one for you.
Picture
New Students:  
New students must sign a release waiver before working with the horses.  Riders under 18 need to have a parent or legal guardian sign.
