🗓 Billing & Scheduling

• Lessons are billed monthly at the end of each month for the following month. This reserves your lesson day, time, coach, and horse.
   

• Regular-priced lessons require a monthly commitment of one lesson per week:
   

  • $65 per group lesson
     

  • $80 per private lesson
     

• If you prefer not to commit monthly, you may book individual lessons for an additional $25 upcharge per lesson (subject to availability).
   

• We run year-round, rain or shine. Lessons may include groundwork, horsemanship, or barrel/mechanical horse practice during extreme weather.
   

🔁 Make-Up Lessons

If 24 hours notice is given (no exceptions), we offer the following make-up options:
 

A. One missed riding lesson per month can be rescheduled in a designated make-up slot:

• Sundays at 11:15am or Thursdays (times vary)
   

• Group format, max 4 riders; horse/coach may differ
   

B. Any number of missed lessons in a month (with notice) may be exchanged for:

• A vaulting class
   

• A horsemanship class
   

• A fall safety workshop
   

Note: Only one missed lesson per month may be replaced with a riding lesson.

Vaulting students may attend a monthly make-up class held on a Thursday evening (specific date and time announced each month).

Make-up lessons must be booked through the office and used within 4 weeks.

We cannot guarantee your regular time slot will be held during extended absences, due to high demand and our waitlist.

​​

• 💳 Payments

🧠 What to Expect

Riding is just one part of equestrian education. In addition to mounted time, students will learn groundwork, horse care, and safety skills. This creates confident, well-rounded riders with deep empathy and responsibility.

Riders must wear :

• Closed-toe boots with a 1” heel
   

• Long pants
   

• A properly fitted equestrian helmet (available to borrow free of charge)

Vaulters must wear :

• Soft shoes (vaulting shoes, runners, or water shoes)
   

• Fitted athletic clothing (no oversized hoodies)
   

• Hair tied back; no dangling jewelry
