Chloe's instructor is helping her adjust her stirrups on the far side. When kids or adults take lessons, it is important to find a riding stable that meets your needs, where you feel comfortable.
Many riding stables offer a free introductory lesson so you can experience their teaching style before making a decision. You should be allowed to see the barns and have some access to seeing the horses under supervision on your visit. Please remember though, a riding stable will not allow you to wander through the barns without someone with you. This is for your safety and that of the horses. Many goodies that humans think will make an excellent treat for a horse or pony will actually make them sick, or occasionally an eager mouth will bite off more then just the treat offered.
A good riding school will never let you ride without an approved safety helmet, which can be purchased at local tack shops. You will also need a pair of hard soled shoes which have a small heel (not high heels!).
You can find places that teach horseback riding through your local chamber of commerce, or by googling "riding lessons" in your town or county. Don't be afraid to ask questions. The right riding stable will welcome your interest and will answer all your questions openly and honestly.
