RIDER INFORMATION

Strengthened by customized Equine-Assisted programs, SIRE riders achieve personal milestones every day at our facilities and in their daily activities away from the arena. While your instructor will be your main point of contact, please know that the staff and volunteers are here to help too.

We have a few changes 2023-24 Year!

  • Facilities improvements may lead to changes in activities and procedures. SIRE will strive to keep you informed.
  • Tuition changes: A 20% surcharge applies to individual lessons for riders who request or are medically required to attend them. This surcharge doesn’t apply if the individual lesson is due to scheduling by SIRE.
  • Fees must be paid in full before participating in activities. Participants with outstanding balances will be removed from the schedule until payments are settled.
  • SIRE now offers a Show Team, with additional fees. Details on joining will be provided soon. Only Show Team members will compete in shows/competitions. The All-SIRE horse show will be open to all, with participation linked to our Annual Saddle Up for SIRE fundraising event.

Riding Attire

  • Wear long pants and hard-soled boots (low heel).
  • Avoid sneakers due to safety concerns with safety stirrups.
  • Dress for comfort and weather conditions.
  • Ensure undergarments offer support and comfort.
  • Opt for close-fitting clothing to prevent accidents.
  • Avoid wearing dangling jewelry.
  • All riders must wear ASTM/SEI-approved Equestrian Helmets.
  • SIRE can provide a helmet if needed.
  • Consider bringing sunscreen, gloves, and a jacket.
