Lesson Policies
Sessions & 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 the 13th week is a built in makeup
Sessions will be as follows: Winter (December 1st- February 28), Spring (March 1st- May 31st), Summer (June 1st- August 31st ), Fall (September 1st- November 30). If you wish to begin lessons after a three month session has begun please speak to Ally and she will try to make this possible if there are spots available.
Please note that there are NO Lead line classes in the winter session and a reduced number of Rder Level 1 groups
You/your student will be automatically enrolled in the next session for riding UNLESS you give us 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 we need to know Feb 1st, May 1st, Aug 1st, Nov 1st
If you would like to arrange a farm tour and to watch a lesson prior to registering- please arrange this with Ally.
At this time we are not offering assessment rides- students with previous riding experienced will be placed into an appropriate group based on what they have already been doing in other lessons and moved if necessary and a space becomes available
Equipment- All students are required to have appropriate helmets and paddock boots and to dress in a neat and tidy way, hair pulled back. Helmets and boots can be found at Greenhawk or other local tack stores. Due to Covid protocols we are not lending this equipment
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.
