I'm thinking of riding lessons for my child. Can you recommend a reputable instructor?

• The Department does not make reccommendations, however, we can tell you if an individual is licensed.

Is an instructor required to post his or her license?

• Yes, it must be posted in the stable office.

I found an instructor and saw that they were licensed, but the license expired two years ago. What should I do?

• Notify the Department immediately. 

Is there a license requirement for stables too?

• Yes, the stable license must be posted in the office. The stable must be licensed in order to rent, or sell horses.
