This video was created primarily for parents and families at our school, but it’s also an important overview for anyone who follows along with our videos here on YouTube. In this video, I go over our parent safety guidelines, community expectations, and boundaries to ensure a safe, respectful, and positive environment for everyone — riders, parents, horses, and staff. These guidelines exist to protect: 🐴 The horses 👩‍👧 The riders 👨‍👩‍👧 The families 🤍 The learning environment Whether you’re a parent at the barn or a viewer watching our content online, this video gives you a clear understanding of the values and standards behind Nelson Horsemanship. Thank you for helping us build a community that is safe, supportive, and respectful — both in person and online. 👉 drop a comment below introducing yourself and your little equestrian.

This is a shared space. We protect it together. Kindness is non-negotiable. We speak to and about others with care — even when they’re not present. Everyone is learning at their own pace. No comparing rides, horses, or progress. We respect horses, people, and the barn. Care, responsibility, and awareness matter here. Questions are welcome. Curiosity is encouraged. Mistakes are part of learning. This is a safe space to try. Confidence grows through support, not pressure. If something feels off, we talk about it. This is a place to grow — together.
