📣 A Gentle but Important Reminder 📣

We just wanted to address something that’s cropped up a few times recently, as we’ve now had three people ask for camp deposits back—despite these being clearly stated as non-refundable.

We’re now just 10 days away from camp. Final balances were due over two weeks ago, and by this point, we’ve already committed to everything—booked activities, ordered supplies, and made plans based on confirmed numbers. Deposits are there to secure your child’s space and cover the upfront costs we incur as a small, family-run riding school.

We love what we do, and we work incredibly hard to give our riders a brilliant experience. But we also ask that we’re treated fairly and respectfully in return. When you book a place, we take that as a promise—and we plan and spend accordingly.

Thank you so much to everyone who understands and continues to support us 💛

🗑️ A Little Help, Please 🗑️

As we’re working on giving the yard a tidy, we’ve come across quite a bit of rubbish left near the ménage - mainly food and drink packaging.

We kindly ask that if you bring snacks or drinks during lessons, please take any rubbish home with you afterwards. It really helps us keep the environment clean and safe for everyone (two-legged and four-legged friends alike!).

Thanks so much for your support 💚

‼️ HOLIDAY ACTIVITIES - none funded‼️

Morning all 👋🏼

A late night staff meeting that went on until 10:30 last night has finally got us in some form of order for activities in the holidays!

We have now added NONE FUNDED Pony days, hacks and some games evenings to the calendar on EC pro!

We have a beach trip booked and planned with all camps so please book the camp if you’re wanting a beach trip - it’s excellent value for Monday childcare for 4 days!

🌟 Hacks will be under group lessons
🌟 Games evenings and pony days are under activities!

We have ensured that something is happening each week, and will endeavour to continue looking at the calendar to see if we can add any other things! If you have a special request, please comment below 👇🏼

Thank you for persevering with us 🫶🏼

Here’s to a fantastic summer holidays 😎❤️

‼️ NON-FUNDED PONY DAYS ‼️

We know many of you are eager to find out about pony days over the summer holidays. At the moment, we only have camps scheduled in the diary.

If our schedule allows, we’ll look to add non-funded pony days—but we’re expecting a busy summer ahead.

We’re having a team meeting tomorrow evening to finalise dates, so please bear with us and we’ll keep you posted!

📣 Important Reminder: Our 48‑Hour Cancellation Policy 🐴

We know no one plans to cancel last minute — but we wanted to explain why our 48-hour cancellation policy is so important and how it helps us keep things running smoothly.

📌 Why we need 48 hours’ notice to cancel:

1. Staff scheduling: We confirm our instructors' paid hours 48 hours in advance. If a lesson is in the diary, they're booked and being paid for that time.

2. Horse prep: Our horses are selected, groomed, and prepared based on confirmed lessons. Late cancellations mean that care and time are already invested.

3. Supporting a small business: We're a small team, and late cancellations mean a loss we’ve already paid out — something we simply can’t sustain regularly.

We completely understand that sometimes unexpected things come up. If that happens, please do still let us know — even inside the 48 hours — so we can do our best to help where we can.

🙏 Thank you for your continued support and understanding. Your help in respecting this policy allows us to look after our team, our horses, and all of you who love riding here. 💛

The Hundleby Team 🐎
