Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Who can attend?

A: All ages are welcome at clinics. Small children of children 10 and under are encouraged to sign up for private or semi-private slots rather than group format. Must be under weight limit to participate and auditors are welcome.

Q: Do you need any previous experience?

A: No previous horse or acrobatic experience required! There will always be certain tricks and paces for each student to learn and experience.

Q: Do I need my own horse?

A: No. Veronica travels to clinics and camps with her own experienced trick horses and equipment.

Q: What do I wear or what should I bring?

A: Please wear tight athletic clothing (breeches/tights/leggings) and flat gym shoes or wrestling shoes. Baggy clothing and chunky riding boots are prohibited. Water bottles are encouraged. Please dress for the weather.

Q: Do I need a helmet?

A: Minors are required to wear helmets. Helmets are optional for adults and experienced stunt riders. Why is that? Trick riding and Equestrian Vaulting are more dangerous with helmets than without for certain tricks. We will be standing, hanging, and moving around while a helmet may hinder movement and could also get caught on horns or straps. One’s best bet would be to bring and wear a helmet unless instructed otherwise.

Q: Is Horsemanship Unlocked insured?

A: Absolutely! All riders must also sign a waiver prior to participating in any event.
