Horsemanship 101- for all riders
Horsemanship 101- for all riders
Don't just be a rider, be a horseman!
Service Description
We will cover everything from nutrition to lunging and leg wrapping. Be a horseman, not just a rider. We need more horsemen. These can stand in for a makeup lesson, and are an option for bad weather days. EVERY student should try to make at least 4 a year, or 1/8th of how often we will offer them. Please do not RSVP unless you can make it (cancel if you can't) and please be ready to listen and ask or answer questions. This is a classroom type situation. Sometimes we will handle horses and demo in the arena, like showmanship and lunging. Sometimes we will just do tack demonstrations, learn proper cleaning of equipment and animals. This isn't laborious, this is part of being a great horseman, part of what many barns expect from students.

Cancellation Policy
1. Refunds & Payments • Refunds are not possible in most situations. Instructor will decide- being dismissed due to behavior from the program does not constitute a refund. • A valid card must be kept on file. This is required. Otherwise you will need to pay for your last month of lessons up front starting 3/1/2025 for all new students, require a 14 day notice to stop lessons without charge • Clients with routine late payments or declined cards may be removed from the program. 2. Lesson Scheduling • Cannot be booked less than 18 hours ahead. Even if the system allows it, we won’t receive notice in time. • Payment holds your place but doesn’t guarantee a weekly lesson. If you cancel, rescheduling may not be possible, and your lesson may be forfeited. 3. Cancellations & Rescheduling • You may cancel or reschedule up to 24 hours in advance but not more than twice a month. If it becomes routine you can lose your preferred spot. • After one reschedule per month, additional makeups or reschedules are at the instructor’s discretion. • Missed lessons do not roll over to the next month, and makeups are subject to availability. 4. Attendance & Availability • Students are expected to maintain good attendance. • Missing more than one lesson per month routinely or canceling within 24 hours for a private lesson results in no makeup or refund, except in emergencies at the instructor’s discretion. • Group lessons offer more flexibility for reschedules than private lessons, as there are more options shared. 5. Holidays & Weather Breaks • Rates are based on a 42-week calendar, accounting for holidays and breaks. We do not operate every week in winter though we do our best to hit at least 3/4 lessons even during the worst months weather wise. • Some months will naturally have fewer lessons due to weather or holidays. Breaks are announced at least 5 weeks in advance. 6. Communication & Updates • Updates on available openings will be posted on our Facebook page, website/App group, and barn bulletin board. • It’s the student’s responsibility to check these sources and their email for updates. 7. Emergencies & Instructor Discretion • Emergency situations are handled at the instructor’s discretion. • Full policies are provided in a welcome letter upon enrollment. By participating in our program, you acknowledge and agree to these policies. If you have any questions, please ask before signing up.
