I think it’s time we have a little recap on our lesson payment and make up lesson policy as we have some new students and a whole bunch who need a friendly reminder. Our hour group lessons are $45 each. We require monthly payments of $180, that’s 4 lessons a month. Some months will have a 5th “lesson day” week in them. You are welcome to *pay for* and join the 5th lesson. Otherwise, that 5th week is used for make ups for missed lessons in the month- when we were given 24 hours notice you weren’t going to make it. Now, we completely understand kids get sick, emergencies happen, etc… but when you have a planned vacation or little suzie has a dance recital and you are a no show or you let us know 10 minutes before your lesson is supposed to start that she isn’t coming, you are not eligible for a make up. Honestly, missed lessons, no shows and make ups have gotten out of hand and we respectfully need to remind everyone- this is our business and our instructors time is valuable, please respect that. So we are cracking down (again) on our make up policy. This is pretty standard in the horse world, some barns don’t even offer make ups and the majority of other sports don’t either, but those that do require 24hours notice. We are trying to be accommodating so please work with us on this.
If you can’t make it please let your instructor and/or shallon know.
Obviously, for our students who take private lessons and our students who take 2 lessons a week, the rates are different but the policy is the same. If you have made specific payment arrangements with the farm you will continue as you have been.
If we have extreme weather and lessons are canceled by the farm we will of course make it up for everyone. If you have any questions just reach out. Thank you.
