Parking
Notice:
Parking is available up against the barn.
If these spots are full, Please remember to leave adequate space when making a
second row of cars. Now that it is getting darker earlier, it can be difficult
to see cars behind you when backing up. We have had multiple instances of
fender benders in the past due to this fact, so please PARK NO CLOSER than the
shed in the back corner of the parking lot (appx 3 car spaces between the two
rows). Do NOT park by the barn manager’s apartment house. These spots are
reserved. Thank you!
Boarder Info
REMINDER: You
MUST have waivers signed if anyone else is to ride your horse. Thank you.
AS THE WEATHER TURN COLDER
–IT’S TIME TO BRING OUT YOUR BLANKETS!
DO NOT hang
blankets on your stalls. It becomes a hazard as the tractor moves
along the aisle. There are hooks provided for your use in the
lost and found area by the lesson tack room. Thank you for your
cooperation.
Please make boarding and
leasing checks payable to: Ridgefield Arena.
As always, any notes on your payment checks are welcomed in order
to help Flo Anne apply it to the proper invoice. If you have not gotten on
our email list yet or know someone else at the barn who isn’t getting our
emails, contact Flo Anne at
ridgefieldarena@gmail.com
