Welcome

OUR RIDERS MUST BE ATLEAST FOUR YEARS OLD. WHILE WE SYMPATHIZE WITH YOUR YOUNGER HORSE LOVER, OUR INSURANCE WILL NOT ALLOW US TO TAKE RIDERS YOUNGER THAN FOUR.

ALSO DUE TO SIZE LIMITATION OF OUR HORSES WE DO NOT GIVE ADULT LESSONS.

NOT TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC. OUR STUDENTS ENJOY LEASE OPPORTUNITIES AND THE OCCASIONAL CAMPING TRIP OR TRAIL RIDE AS THOSE OPPORTUNITIES COME UP. THIS IS A PRIVILEGE AND REWARD TO OUR HARD-WORKING AND DEDICATED STUDENTS ONLY.

SAFE HORSES!


Well, as safe as horses and ponies can be.


We all can have our moments but in general, our horses have kind hearts and love people.


Since we specialize in teaching children a solid foundation, we have a few ponies and medium sized horses. This is the main reason we don't offer many rides to adults. 

WE OFFER LOW LEVEL, BEGINNER JUMPING, GYMNASTICS, POLES AND CROSS-RAILS ON OUR HORSES. JUMPING CREATES WEAR AND TEAR ON OUR HORSES, AND THEIR COMFORT IS A PRIORITY TO US. THEREFORE, WE DO NOT OFFER JUMPING OVER EIGHTEEN INCHES IN HEIGHT. WE CAN AND WILL PREPARE YOU TO MOVE UP IN HEIGHT BUT WHEN YOU ARE READY, WE WILL REFER YOU TO ANOTHER INSTRUCTOR WHO SPECIALIZES IN THE DISCIPLINE YOU CRAVE.

YES! WE ATTEND LOCAL SCHOOLING AND OPEN SHOWS WITH OUR STUDENTS. SEE OUR SHOW TEAM PAGE FOR MORE INFORMATION.

HOWEVER, WE ARE NOT A SHOW BARN.

OUR STUDENTS ARE NOT REQUIRED TO COMPETE. WE WORK ON WHAT THE STUDENT ENJOYS MOST ABOUT RIDING. 

OF COURSE!
SIBLINGS OF STUDENTS MUST BE WITH A PARENT OR GUARDIAN AT ALL TIMES. THE RIDING LESSON IS ONLY FOR THE CHILD WHOM WE SCHEDULED. SIBLINGS ARE WELCOME TO WATCH THE LESSON BUT ARE NOT ALLOWED TO PARTICIPATE.   RELEASE FORMS ARE REQUIRED OF ALL VISITORS, INCLUDING SIBLINGS. THE BARN IS NOT A PLAYGROUND. ALL NON-RIDING VISITORS MUST SIT ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE ARENA OR IN THE CAR. PLEASE DO NOT WANDER THROUGHOUT THE BARNS UNACCOMPANIED BY STAFF OR INSTRUCTOR. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH OR FEED ANY HORSE THE OWNER GRANTS UNLESS SPECIFIC PERMISSION. NOT ALL HORSES IN THE BARN ARE LESSON HORSES.  SOME HORSES CAN BE AGGRESSIVE.  SOME OWNERS CAN BE PROTECTIVE.   PLEASE LEAVE YOUR PETS AT HOME. THE BARN’S INSURANCE DOES NOT ALLOW DOGS ON THE PROPERTY. DOGS CAN CREATE DANGEROUS SITUATIONS FOR BOTH HORSE, RIDER, AND THE DOG.

CASH IS ALWAYS WELCOME.

CHECKS:  MAKE CHECKS PAYABLE TO A & A EQUESTRIAN COACHES. YOU MAY HAND THE CHECK TO AN INSTRUCTOR OR YOU CAN MAIL YOUR CHECK TO ALISHA AT 11067 106TH AVE, LARGO, FL 33778  (MAILING ADDRESS ONLY) ANY RETURNED OR BOUNCED CHECK WILL RESULT IN A $40.00 FEE IN ADDITION TO THE AMOUNT OF THE CHECK.

OUR PRICES ARE NON-NEGOTIABLE.  THE ONLY DISCOUNT WE OFFER IS FOR OUR WEEKLY STUDENTS WHO WISH TO ATTEND HORSE CLUB ON THE WEEKEND IN ADDITION TO THEIR REGULARLY SCHEDULED LESSON.
AND
PREPAID WEEKLY LESSONS, PAID BEFORE THE FIRST OF THE MONTH. PLEASE SPEAK WITH YOUR RIDING INSTRUCTOR ABOUT MOVING TO PREPAID LESSONS.

Lessons are scheduled for a particular day and time. This is your weekly time slot. If you know that you're going out of town during a certain holiday, please let your instructor know well in advance.
Cancellation Policy:

• Any cancellations must occur 24 hours before the scheduled lesson time. If a      cancellation occurs in the 24-hour time period, payment is still owed to your instructor. 
  • If you miss 3 lessons in a row or if you are inconsistent with your attendance, your lesson spot is likely to be filled, or you will be given  the option to pay monthly tuition. 
  • Makeups will be provided at the instructor's discretion. 
  • No shows without payment will immediately be pulled from the schedule.
• If you are planning on being out of town, and this is communicated in advance, we will hold your lesson spot for 3 lessons, if longer, you will have to pay to hold the spot. 
• Rain  does not guarantee a cancellation! Check with your instructor if you are  worried about the forecast.
• There will be NO REFUNDS for missed lessons. If you miss a gymnastics, dance, or cheer class, they do not offer refunds either.  We are sometimes flexible and may offer an alternative time for a make-up class, but that is solely up to instructor discretion.

WE SPECIALIZE IN HUNT SEAT AND DRESSAGE, BUT WE OFTEN RIDE WESTERN IN CAMPS AND SATURDAY SADDLE CLUB.

SO YES, WE TEACH WESTERN BUT IF YOU ARE LOOKING TO LEARN BARREL RACING OR WESTERN PLEASURE FOR COMPETITION, WE ARE NOT THE SCHOOL FOR YOU. 

TEXT US ANYWAY, I DO HAVE A FEW REFERALS I CAN SEND YOU TO.

WE SPECIALIZE IN TEACHING CHILDREN. BECAUSE WE HAVE SMALLER SIZED HORSES (PONIES) WE HAVE A SIZE AND WEIGHT LIMIT FOR ADULT RIDERS.
