ASSUMPTION OF LIABILITY

All persons that will be in direct contact with a horse on the property must fill out an assumption of liability release. If under 18 years old, this must be filled out by a parent or legal guardian(s). Visiting friends must also provide a completed assumption of liability. The assumption of liability form is available under the forms tab at the top of this page for your convenience.

CANCELLATION POLICY

Please call at least 48 hours before your class to cancel a lesson. If you do not call to cancel you will be expected to pay for the lesson. Continual absences, rescheduling, no shows, or no cancellation calls will result in the loss of your lesson spot. For calls of less than 48 hours, a make up lesson may be granted at the discretion of the instructor based on the student’s attendance record.

LESSON POLICY

Riders should arrive on time and with proper attire. The lesson period of a tardy student may be shortened if running the full length interferes with another client. All riders must wear long pants (no capris or shorts), closed-toed shoes, and an SEI approved riding helmet. Family and friends must also wear closed-toed shoes for safety.

Students are expected to attend their scheduled lessons regularly. Multiple absences may result in the loss of your place in class. We do our best to keep classes running on time. Late classes may affect the class schedule for the remainder of the day. Animal-related issues sometimes necessitate delays. Farm delayed lessons will run their full length.

LESSON POLICY

All lessons are to be scheduled in advance. Payment is to be made before you ride. Parents, please do not drop students off without payment.
