Clothing and Apparel Guidelines
For your safety and the safety of your participants and families, please follow these clothing and equipment guidelines:
Fieldstone Farm recommends that volunteers must wear long jeans or sturdy cotton trousers. Loose, baggy jeans should be secured with a belt.
Avoid dangling earrings or other jewelry. Medical tags, necklaces and scarves should be worn under shirts/jackets during activities around horses. Wear sunglasses only if necessary.
Appropriate footwear includes a sturdy-sole shoe, with a small heel that fits securely to the foot. Shoes with bulky soles pose a safety threat and therefore are not permissible. Shoes with laces must be securely tied. Absolutely no sandals are permitted in the barn area. No one will be allowed into the barn area or arena wearing sandals or open-toed shoes!
Dress in plenty of layers as the weather changes. Short sleeves (not sleeveless) shirts are best in the summer heat. Keep loose clothing/jackets buttoned or zipped. Please bring appropriate clothing, including gloves, for the winter months.
Please note these guidelines must be adhered to by participants, teachers and visitors alike.
