· picking up equipment
· turning off aisle lights
· returning gates, door, etc. to their original position.
7. Please, if you or your horse drops anything, pick it up immediately.
8. It is suggested that the people riding outside the immediate stabling area go riding with a partner for their own safety.

13. No horse is to be left unattended on the crossties. Equipment should be prepared and located at the crosstie area before removing your horse from the stall. Horses should be returned to their stalls as soon as possible to keep the aisle way clear.
14. Equipment will not be used without the owners’ permission. If you borrow something (with permission), return it properly.
15. Barn Etiquette - Considerate riding and sharing of barn facilities is necessary. LESSONS HAVE PRECEDENCE. During a lesson situation, all horses will work in the same direction according to the command of the instructor. We were all once beginners, please be courteous. If passing a horse going in opposite direction, it is to be done left shoulder to left shoulder, or calling a position.
16. No freelance instructors. All outside instructors must work through barn management.
