however, if you still face any kind of issue, then feel free to call us. expect the first appointment to last 1-2 hours long. as anyone who rides will tell you, they’re also a lot of fun. a big part of this was also the staff – we were greeted at the front door, before we’d even walked in! it is wise to use a stick to keep them together while doing so. the horse literally gets a feel for what i want it to do.
