Saddlebrook Equestrian Center - Lesson Rules, Regulations and Safety Guidelines

• Students must have a release form on file before being allowed to ride.

• Students must be on time for lessons. If you are running late and everyone else in your lesson is tacked up and heading to the area, you will only be able to audit the lesson. Be sure to allow for extra driving time when traffic may be present or during inclement weather. (If you are running late please call your instructor!)

• No parents or guests allowed in the tacking area or in the arenas. No sitting on arena fencing.

• Students of all ages must wear certified riding helmets at all times when on or around horses.

• Lesson checks are due BEFORE the first of the month. Payment should be made out to Saddlebrook and given directly to your instructor during the last week of the month to reserve your lesson spot for the following month. Any students that have not paid before the first of the month will be removed from the schedule and cannot ride until the student has been re-enrolled in lessons by contacting Saddlebrook at (281) 731-8555. There will be a $25 charge for all returned checks.
