Q & A:
What is the program?
A current member of the Flying Lead Saddle Club (FLSC), can come to the arena during a specified time, for a specified topic to excersise/train your horse.

How much does it cost?
It is free for a current member. You can become a member at the open ride and pay the Open Ride Manager.

How are the days/times figured out?
An Open Ride Manager sets the time and topic, verifying with the Flying Lead Saddle Club that the day/time is available.

How do I find out when the open rides are?
Check the FLSC calendar of events to see when the open rides are. This will tell you who is having the open ride, their phone number, the topic and the date/time.

How do I get my topic scheduled for an open ride?
Two choices: Ask a current open ride manager to add your topic and be there or you can become an Open Ride Manager yourself. Inquire with a Board Member on this.

Can I have my trainer come with me and coach me while at an Open Ride event?
As long as you and your trainer are members of
the saddle club.

How many Open Ride Managers are there?
The FLSC Board can appoint as many managers as they would like. The more managers, the more open rides that can happen.

If I'm a Manager, can I still ride my horse?
Yes! As a manager, you are in charge of opening the arena, making sure all people that show up are members, check coggins, clean up after everyone and shut the arena down at the end of the open ride.

What types of topics are typical at an open ride?
Any topic can be chosen, but some of the more popular topics include: Gaming, Pleasure and Desensitizing.

Why pick a topic?
A "topic" is chosen so that the majority of the people/horses are working on the same thing at the same time. We all know that it is no fun being in the arena when someone is trying to practice "gaming" and another "pleasure"... no fun for either party!
