CANCELLATION POLICY
If a student cancels a lesson (and it’s within a 24 hour window), our instructors do their best to offer a makeup with either them or a substitute instructor. If the offered makeup time doesn’t work for the student, unfortunately the student misses that lesson and it isn’t refunded per our tuition policy. Holiday closures are also non-refundable. This is because some months, students get 5 lessons in the month, and we do not charge an additional fee which balances out occasional missed lessons/holiday closures.
If an instructor has to cancel a lesson, they do their best to offer a makeup lesson either with themselves or a substitute instructor. If no one is available, then a refund is given for that canceled lesson.
FACILITY EXPECTATIONS:
Pick up any manure, hoof trimmings, shedding hair, hay, shavings, etc. on property. This includes the indoor arena, outdoor arena, driveways, tacking stations, and aisle-ways around the paddocks.
Empty manure buckets if they are full. Manure buckets live on the south-side outside the barn & south side outside the indoor arena.
Clear the arena of any jumps, standards, barrels, or equipment into the south-west and north-east corners after use. This ensures it can be dragged/watered each day.
Park cars on the west side of the property, passing in-between the barn and the arena.
If there is ice, please be careful walking around the property!
During winter, hoses in the barn can freeze. Use the red heated hose plugged into the wall. Don’t coil it / leave any kinks in it. To store, let it fall the way it naturally wants to fall inside the big black bucket. If any kinks are in it, it will break the electrical wires. Finally, disconnect red heated hose from spigot after use each time, but you may leave it plugged into the wall.
