When should you provide riding instructions to guests?

Providing riding instructions to every rider, every time is essential for several reasons. First, consistent instruction reinforces safety protocols and ensures that all riders are aware of the necessary guidelines, equipment usage, and protocols for their safety and the safety of others. This is especially important in dynamic environments where conditions and participant levels may vary from one experience to the next.

Even for seasoned riders who may have participated before, circumstances such as changes in equipment, weather conditions, or small adjustments in procedures may have occurred. Delivering these instructions ensures that everyone is updated and prepared to ride safely.

In addition, repetition of instructions can help to build good habits among riders and enhance their overall riding experience, regardless of their previous experience. This comprehensive approach to instruction promotes a stronger culture of safety and attentiveness among all participants. Overall, consistent communication and clear instructions are key to ensuring enjoyable and safe riding experiences for everyone.
