It looks like we will be having some fairly hot weather coming up in the next week or so.
We strongly suggest you bring a bottle of water with you to drink prior to and after your ride or lesson.
A reminder that if you need to have a drink mid-lesson you will need to dismount so as not to spook your horse.
We will be pacing the rides so we don't over heat riders or horses.
Have a great week!
