Grass Field:

Grass footing is considered by many to be the best footing for horse sport. As it is natural, grass conditions vary depending on moisture, grass length, time of year, usage and other natural conditions. Listed below are a few tips for safe riding on the grass to help you have the best possible experience.

  • Consult with your farrier to ensure proper shoeing for riding and jumping  on grass.
  • We suggest that you inspect the grass on the day of your ride to determine the condition.
  • Ride conservatively for your first round on grass, to become accustomed to these different conditions.
  • Slow down your turns: Your horse needs to be balanced when executing quick turns,accelerating and decelerating on grass footing.

There are many weather and natural situations that impact the condition of the grass. The staff at HIPICO will do everything we can to ensure the best possible conditions, but be aware that there are many factors outside of our control. With proper preparation, knowledge and equipment, riders can enjoy our grass footing safely.
