Arrival & Pre-Event

Plan your arrival to account for potential traffic, especially during peak seasons or on weekends. Allow yourself ample time to locate parking, which is conveniently situated on-site. Once parked, take a moment to orient yourself with the farm layout and head towards the check-in area. Familiarize yourself with the location of stables, riding arenas, and any designated spectator areas. This window before your activity is also a good time to ensure you have all necessary gear and water.

During the Event

If you are participating in a lesson or event, follow your instructor’s or organizer’s guidance regarding arena etiquette and timing. Spectators can find comfortable spots to observe the action, and nearby restrooms are usually well-marked. Between sessions or during breaks, take the opportunity to explore the farm's grounds or visit any on-site concessions if available. Stay hydrated and be mindful of the schedule to transition smoothly to your next activity or the conclusion of the event.

Post-Event & Departure

After your activity concludes, take a moment to thank your hosts and collect any personal belongings. If you participated in an event, it’s common for there to be a brief wrap-up or awards ceremony. Before departing, consider a final stroll around the farm or a quick visit to the gift shop if one is present. Factor in a little extra time for egress from the parking area, as it can become momentarily busy as multiple groups depart simultaneously. Enjoy the scenic drive as you leave the farm and head to your next destination.
