Cancellation Policy:
All cancellations must be made at least 24 hours ahead of the scheduled lesson time! Lessons should be cancelled by contacting the instructor directly, by phone or text. No other means of contact (FB messenger or email) will be accepted.
Any lesson cancelled between 12-24 hours of the scheduled lesson time will be charged the full rate unless the lesson can be filled. It is entirely at the discretion of the instructor if the lesson can be filled.
Any lesson cancelled less than 12 hours prior to the scheduled lesson time will be charged the full lesson rate regardless of whether the time can be filled by another rider.
Exceptions may be made to the cancellation policy in the event of injury or illness to either horse or rider. In the event of injury or illness students must contact the instructor as soon as the problem is evident.
In Case of Inclement Weather:
In general, lessons will not be cancelled due to temperature. If you prefer to not ride due to extreme hot or cold please follow the above cancellation policy to cancel your scheduled lesson. Lessons may be cancelled due to poor or unsafe driving conditions or heavy rain.
Please do not assume lessons have been cancelled without contacting the instructor.
Payment:
Students may pay for lessons by check, cash or PayPal. Please have your check written or cash ready BEFORE your lesson begins.
Late Policy:
If a lesson is scheduled for 10:00 am, that means the instruction will start promptly at 10:00 am, so plan to be mounted and warmed up enough to begin working at that time. Out of respect to the instructor and other students, any rider who arrives more than 15 minutes late for a lesson will forfeit the lesson and be responsible for the charges. Any lesson that begins late due to the rider will not run past the scheduled end time, in respect for the next student. If the instructor is running late, every effort will be made to communicate with the rider, and this time will be made up, if possible, or a credit established for the next lesson.
