AIs: Don’t Forget Poop Patrol!

A quick reminder for our amazing Assistant Instructors: Please make sure to pick up manure during lessons and empty the indoor wheelbarrow at the end of your shift.

There are two big benefits to staying on top of this:

1. Protecting Our Arena Footing Regular manure pickup helps keep our footing in top condition and extends its lifespan. The cleaner the arena, the longer the footing lasts — and the safer and more enjoyable it is for our horses and riders.

2. Preventing Injuries for Fellow Ais Emptying the indoor wheelbarrow at the end of your shift helps prevent the next AI from having to lift or push an overly heavy load. This reduces strain and helps protect everyone’s back and joints.

Thank you for taking those extra few minutes — it really makes a difference in keeping our environment safe, efficient, and horse‑friendly!
