Lesson Policies 

Session & Away Policy

Riding lessons are offered ONLY by Sessions.  Each session is 3 months.  In each 3 months there are 13 weeks.  You purchase a package of 12 lessons and there is a built in makeup

Sessions will be as follows: (December, January, February), (March, April, May), (June, July, August), (September, October, November). If you wish to begin lessons after a three month session has begun please speak to Laura, and we will try to make this possible if there are spots available. 
​
If you are planning to be away for more than one week during a session please speak to Laura about doubling up lesson times before or after your absence.

You/your student will be automatically enrolled in the next session for riding UNLESS you give me a month notice that you no longer want your spot.  It takes a tremendous amount of work getting a schedule ready that works for everyone and there is a waiting list of people who would like those spots.   This means I need to know Feb 1st, May  1st, Aug 1st, Nov 1st 

Cancellation Policy and make- up lessons

 If 1 lesson is missed there is a built in make- up in each session.  additional missed lessons will not be made up  with the following  exception:
1) If WE cancel due to unreasonably cold temperatures or storms or due to closures related to COVID - credits will be applied to the following session.   
2)If Covid causes you to miss lessons- credits will be applied to the next session

Late Policy

If you arrive late for your lesson please get ready quickly and join your group.   Your lesson will end at the usual time because ponies need to rest and have breaks, and other riders need to start there lessons on time.   Missing your start time means you will be warming up after the rest of the group and you might miss out participating in some of the lesson planned.
