Q: How old does my child have to be to participate in horseback ridding lessons?
A: We start children interacting with and riding horses as young as 3 years old. Depending on their attention span, lessons may go shorter or longer on any given day, but we always strive to make it a positive experience!

Q; Do i need any special equipment for taking lessons?
A: We ask that you always wear pants(jeans), a gym shoe or hard soled shoe, and you must wear a helmet that is SEI approved. Applewood Farms will provide a helmet for you for the first few weeks of lessons, but we do request that you to purchase one if you plan to continue to ride. At $30 - $50 dollars, we feel that you can find a nice helmet, and it is well worth the investment.
