NM Youth Horse riding and Archery classes
Dear Taos Charter School,
Thank you for reaching out about our horseback archery classes! We are excited to welcome you to this ancient discipline of mounted martial arts, connection, and focus. Whether you are stepping onto this path for the first time or looking to deepen your horsemanship and archery skills, our programs develop confidence, courage, and balance to help you conquer your life goals. We’ve already had two responses from our parents at your school so thank you and hopefully we’ll get some more. This is such an incredible opportunity for the kids and really is so beneficial for brain heart cognitive function.
Hugs,
Gemma

Helmets: ASTM/SEI-certified equestrian helmets are mandatory for all riders under 18 and strongly recommended for adults. Bring yours if you have one, or you can use one of our sanitized loaners on site.
Hydration & Food: Bring a refillable water bottle and snacks to stay fueled. (For our NM Youth Friday programs, fresh pizza and salad are provided! Full-Day Saturday students must pack a lunch.))
Student Photo: Please text a clear photo of the student to 575-776-2856 so our instructors can match faces to names on day one.

For the safety of our horses and riders, all participants must have an executed liability waiver on file prior to entering the arena:
Download & Print: Download the waiver packet directly from the link inside the registration form (or attached to this email).
Sign & Scan: Please hand-sign the packet, scan it (using the free document scanner in the iPhone Notes app or Google Drive app on Android), and email it back to us at least 24 hours before your first class.
Bring the Original: Please bring the physical signed paper copy with you to check-in on your first day. (Note: Spectators and family members joining us at the sanctuary will sign our visitor liability log at the entrance gate).
