RIDING LESSON DRESS CODE POLICY


General Expectations

At Georgetown Riding Academy (GRA), proper riding attire is required to promote rider safety, professionalism, and a polished appearance. Riders are expected to arrive dressed appropriately for their scheduled lesson.

All riders must wear attire that is safe, clean, well-fitted, and appropriate for working around horses.

These recommendations are provided for guidance and convenience only. Comparable riding equipment meeting safety and fit standards may be approved by the instructor.

Non-Compliance & Final Authority

If a rider arrives improperly dressed, they may be asked to change if appropriate attire is available. The lesson may be shortened or canceled for safety reasons and may be forfeited without refund.


Georgetown Riding Academy instructors have final authority in determining whether attire and equipment are safe, appropriate, and in keeping with the standards of the program.
