Novices learn everything from saddling, grooming, and mounting to keeping horses healthy and understanding cues. More-experienced students learn skills such as how to harness and drive a team of horses and how to translate their wordless grunts into more coherent neighs.

All guests should wear long pants, closed-toe shoes, and comfortable clothing suitable for the hot weather. Transportation to and from any hotel on the Strip can be arranged for an additional fee of $50.<p>
