Payment is due at the beginning of the
session. No refunds will be given. Cancellations must be
made 24 hours in advance to schedule a make-up. This is very
important, as we are tacking horses and paying instructors to come
and teach you, unless we know in advance that you are not coming!
Important Reminders:
* Be sure to arrive at least 15 minutes early
to get your horse up the hill if needed. Please ask for help
if you are unsure about tacking/bridling or need help walking up the
hill.
* All siblings should stay in the Observation
Room during lessons. Children need to be under the direct
supervision of an adult. No running around and making loud
noise in the aisle ways ... this scares the horses! The
boarders have asked that you do not pat their horses -- some bite
and we would not like to see any accidents. You are welcome to
pat the school horses in the lower barn.
* When walking down the aisle way, please wait
if there is a boarder horse on the crossties in the aisle way.
Wait to pass until the boarder indicates that it is safe.
