What type of membership should I apply for?

• Riding membership: Riding Membership shall be open to anyone, either a minor (under age 18) or adult (age 18 or older), interested in any type of equestrian riding activity. Additional members may be added if they live in the same household. See PVRA Bylaws Section B for specific detail on additional members. Work hours required, please see Work Hours for more information. 

• Social membership: Social Membership shall be open to individuals otherwise eligible for Riding Membership who do not make use of the Association's riding facilities. Our liability insurance does not allow for a parent/guardian to handle the minor’s horse(s) while at the facility.  If a parent will be assisting a minor in the handling of the horse(s), PVRA requires you (parent/guardian) to join as a “Social” member for insurance coverage.  This will allow you to assist (load, unload, leading, tacking, etc.),  but does not allow you to mount or ride the horse. Work Hours are not required.

• Short term membership: Short Term Riding Membership shall be open to anyone, either a minor (under age 18) or adult (age 18 or older) for a period of three (3) consecutive months. Household members are not included in this membership type. Work Hours are not required.
