Life at GCEC
What to wear when you visit GCEC
Please wear long pants and boots every time you are onsite at GCEC. Even if you are not riding, please wear closed-in shoes. For your trail ride or trial lesson, if you don't have boots, sneakers or similar closed shoes will do, and helmets are provided by the school if you are riding.
Plan to arrive 15 minutes before your lesson or appointment, and 30 minutes before a group trail ride.
Please note that bookings are non-refundable and we do not offer rescheduling. There are no cancellations due to bad weather, as we have an undercover arena.
New to GCEC?
Every new rider starts with a 30 minute trial lesson, so our coaches can meet you, assess your level and find the best fit.
