FAQs

Whether you’ve taken lessons before or you’re brand new to the world of horseback riding, we are excited to have you join us at the barn.

Thanks so much for choosing Perennial Farm. We’re looking forward to meeting you soon!

  • Jeans or leggings and boots (no tennis shoes) are appropriate attire for the lesson. Additionally, riders are required to wear a helmet  We’ve included some photos to give you an idea of what our students typically wear along with a list of local tack stores where you can purchase everything you need.

  • A bottle of water and sunscreen are recommended. It can get hot out there!

  • For your introductory lesson, please arrive 15 minutes prior to the start time. Once you are able to tack your own horse or pony, we encourage you to arrive at least 30 minutes early so you can be sure to start your lesson on time.

  • We’re located across the street from Ballast Point Park at 5305 Interbay Blvd. You can enter from the street through the metal gate - just be sure to shut it behind you. You may park in the areas in front of the rings and paddocks, but please be mindful that you aren’t blocking any gates with your vehicle. There is also a public parking lot located just outside the main ring.

    Once you get onto the property, you’ll see a small barn to your right. Head in and a working student will be there to greet you, introduce you to your horse or pony and get you ready for your lesson.
