All clients must complete a Waiver of Release and Liability (aka Release Form) before engaging the services of Perennial Farm. Visitors and Clients are not permitted on the grounds of Perennial Farm until the Release Form has been acknowledged and signed.

No unsupervised minors are permitted on the premises of Perennial Farm. All minors must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian over the age of 18. Minors may be present on the property with the permission of a trainer, who is physically present on the grounds at the same time as the minor.

Minor riders/owners/leasers must have an adult with them when hacking their owned/leased horse or pony. ABSOLUTELY NO JUMPING IS ALLOWED outside of a lesson for anyone.

Riders should arrive early for their lessons so they can groom and tack their horse/pony. Riders should work with the working student to learn how to tack their horse/pony, if they are physically capable. After their lesson, riders need to untack and take care of their horse. Working students are there to help when needed. Please allow approximately 30 minutes before and after your lessons for this.

Riders are asked to please clean up after their horses/ponies when using wash racks and to return all items used to their proper place, neat and clean (e.g. pick up your horse’s manure). Horses/ponies are NEVER to be left unattended in the crossties.

Horses/ponies must be in crossties when they are in the wash rack being groomed or tacked up. Crossties must be clipped on to the horse/pony’s halter. Do not secure a horse/pony by its bridle without placing a halter over the bridle first.

Riders are required to wear a helmet when attempting to mount or when mounted on a horse.

The barn is open Tuesday through Sunday. Unless otherwise stated or dictated by a lesson or show schedule, business hours are 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Riders are required to purchase and wear their own helmet and boots after their second lesson. A helmet may be borrowed for the first two lessons but will not be supplied after that. Absolutely no sneakers may be worn while riding due to safety reasons.

We have resident dogs and ask that you do not bring your dog on the property.
