Obviously, your horse(s) should be sound, healthy, current shots, and current Coggins which a copy of the current Coggins must be given to our Secretary. Horses should be having on-going farrier care. Shoes are not required, but you may want to consider shoeing your horse(s). We could be called out to very rocky areas.

We assume you already know how to ride. So we are not here for riding lessons. There are some skills our horses should be comfortable with. We will be working on these. If you already can do something, turn and help your neighbor. Desensitization will be a huge part of it.

You are the most important person here. Your safety is #1! Be aware of the horses around you. You are responsible for the actions of your horse, so always be careful around others. It will take some time for all of our horses to get used to each other. Remember we are working to become a TEAM.
