This week at lessons, we will have updated paperwork for everyone to review and sign. These updates will include:
Our new arena location
Updated cancellation policies
New lesson package and payment information

Each family will have the opportunity to sign the updated forms and take a copy home for their records. Please plan to review these updates during your lesson this week!

โข Appointment reminders: Youโll receive a reminder approximately 50 hours before your scheduled lesson, followed by another reminder 24 hours beforehand. These are great opportunities to let us know if you need to reschedule!
โข 48-hour notice required: All cancellations and rescheduling requests must be made at least 48 hours before your scheduled appointment.
โข Late cancellations: Cancellations or rescheduling requests made with less than 48 hoursโ notice are subject to forfeiture of the full scheduled lesson fee.
We understand that emergencies and unexpected situations happen! Please reach out as soon as possible if something comes up so we can discuss your circumstances and any applicable cancellation fees.

To help us better manage our schedule, accommodate our waitlist, and reduce the impact of last-minute cancellations, we are transitioning to a new lesson payment system.
Unfortunately, repeated last-minute cancellations have made it necessary for us to make this change. Moving forward, lesson packages must be purchased and paid for in advance to reserve and hold your lesson spot. Individual lessons will no longer be purchased one at a time. Packages must be purchased before your next lesson is due.
Our new lesson packages are:
๐ด 2-Lesson Package โ $130 ($65 per lesson)
๐ด 4-Lesson Package โ $240 ($60 per lesson)
*For group lesson and or 30 minute lesson prices(5 and under only) please reach out.
Purchasing a package ahead of time helps us maintain a more consistent schedule, plan accordingly, and continue providing quality instruction to all our riders. We appreciate your understanding as we make this adjustment to better serve our program and our families.

Please keep an eye on the weather forecast and your upcoming lesson appointments. Weโll do our best to monitor weather conditions and communicate promptly if lessons need to be postponed. Our goal is to keep everyone on track, accommodate schedule changes when possible, and respect everyoneโs time. If youโre unsure whether weather conditions will affect your lesson, please donโt hesitate to reach out! Lessons postponed due to weather will not be forfeited. You will be credited your lesson.
๐ค Thank You for Your Continued Support!
We understand that changes to scheduling and payment systems can take some adjustment, and we truly appreciate your patience and cooperation. These updates will help us keep our program running smoothly, respect everyone's time, and continue offering a great experience for our riders and their horses.
*If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out. We are always happy to communicate and work with our families!
