What do you need for this class?
- You can borrow a riding helmet from us for the first set of classes, but if they continue to ride with us riders need to purchase their own helmet.
- Shoes that will go over the ankles and have a 1 1/2 inch heel (no bulky hikking shoes please). The shoes need to give stablitty to the ankles, so rain boots are not a good coice. Please ensure that there are no zippers on the inside of the legs.
- A pair of leggings or jeans pants are good for the beginning
