Students should be in the ring, mounted and ready to ride, at the scheduled start of their lesson (private lessons should mount 15 min early to warm up once approved by their instructor). After the lesson, students are expected to properly cool out and groom their horse before putting them away. Students are also expected to clean their tack and properly put it away before leaving.
