Requirements & Expectations
​
Apparel Required
ASTM approved riding helmet and safety glasses must be worn anytime your child is riding a horse. Paddock boots with half chaps or tall riding boots and long pants (jeans are fine) must also be worn for every lesson. White pants/jeans are required to play in youth chukkars. Baseball/ softball gloves are also recommended but not required.
Parent/Guardian Expectations
​
We require that a parent or responsible party is present during lessons. Please bring ample water for your child and any snacks or refreshments you'd like. Please arrive on time for your child's lesson.
CANCELLATION POLICY
24 hours or more - No Charge
Under 24 hours - 50% Charge
Under 12 hours - 100% Charge
Throughout the season there will be times that lessons and chukkars may need to be rescheduled and we ask that you are mindful of these changes. Downloading and checking the WhatsApp group chat will be very helpful. The LPA will do everything that they can to give adequate notice.
Volunteering & Social Membership
​
With the kids membership being free we do encourage parents to purchase a social membership, especially if you are planning to celebrate at asados with the team. Another way for us to help keep the cost of the kids program down is that we will be requiring parents to help throughout the polo season: some ways that we need help are working at a tournament, working at the field, or helping clean tack.
Thank you for your interest in having your kids join the LPA and we look forward to an exciting season.
