Lesson Payment & Missed Classes Policy:
Unless discussed and set up in advance with Rosemary for payment, lessons will be sold in monthly packagesto be paid within the first week of the month online.
If a student misses/cancels a lesson, a makeup can be discussed/scheduled with Miss Rachel within a week of the missed lesson, for a makeup class within 3 weeks of the original missed class. If this is not done, the original payment for the missed lesson is forfeited. This is because Rachel's schedule and livelihood depends on the consistency of lessons. This is consistent with other class sessions you might sign up for in the community.
Makeup classes can be scheduled during existing class times. Makeups may potentially be group lessons and may include riding horses for conditioning or horse care or a mix of both. Because this is when Rachel will be doing conditioning rides and care, students will be helping Rachel with whichever horses need care and riding. The riding will be to improve the horses' training and condition. The goal during makeup lessons will be to give back to and care for the herd, which is a valuable skill as an equestrian.

Saturday Equestrian Club
Saturdays, 3:15-5:15 PM
ages 8 and up
$50
Calling all horse lovers! From the very first class, we will learn to better understand how horses work, think and move. From there, each meeting will involve a different curriculum that will take lessons one step further. We want to explore the Whys and Hows of horsemanship through classroom brainstorming, riding time and/or demonstrations under saddle and fun hands-on activities.
After each club session, students will leave with enhanced horse safety and care skills, and strengthened relationships with horses and other riders alike! Club meetings are held regardless of weather, however, if riding is scheduled for that day - it will be replaced with a more suitable activity.
When you register, please include your child's name, age and riding experience.
