Friendly to green horses. New to horses? This is a great, supportive environment to come try things. Green horses and beginning riders are welcome to participate.
There is no fee to attend. If you bring an equid, there is a $10 Haul in fee payable to Double N Ranch.
We are trying something a little different this year, reviving an older practice format.
The first part of the day will be 20-30 minute semi-private riding lessons with Else working on horsemanship and equitation topics. Lesson start times mean tacked up and ready to ride.
If you would like a lesson, please contact Else. You are responsible for arranging for a horse or mule. That can mean arranging for rentals, bringing your own, or asking one of the horse owners in advance if you can borrow one of theirs.
Later as a group, we will work on games, open sparring and other activities. Group times will be announced about a week before the practice, once lesson times are set.
