Scheduling

• Lessons are scheduled in advance by student/client either on a recurring monthly basis and payment is due on the first of the month. Lessons can also be scheduled a la carte via our online scheduler with payment being due at the time of booking.

​

• It is the student/client responsibility to reschedule lessons in which they will be unable to attend at least 24 hours in advance to avoid forfeiting the scheduled lesson. Lessons with less than 24 hours notice cannot be made up.

​

• Lessons rescheduled due to inclement weather, scheduling conflict, etc. a makeup lesson will be scheduled during the following 45 days to avoid forfeiting the lesson. Lessons are to be rescheduled using our lesson scheduler.

​

• For no reason will money paid for lessons be refunded.

​

• It is student/client responsibility to show up 20 minutes before scheduled lesson to tack up your horse and be in the ring ready to ride at the scheduled time. This does not apply to new students or students unable to tack up on their own.

​

• If you are more than 15 minutes late you will not be able to ride that day and will not be allowed a make up lesson.

Lesson Attire

• Riders should wear long, tight fitting pants and a comfortable shirt. Please no baggy clothing.

​

• Please come prepared wearing layers and gloves in cold weather, or with water bottles in hot and humid weather. 

​

• Sneakers are okay for the first few lessons, however for safety riding and in and around the barn a boot with at least a 1/2" heel is required.

​

• No flip flops or sandals around the horses!

​

• Helmets are required while riding in a lesson and can be provided by Ride the Sky Stables.​

Weather Policy

• If lessons are to be cancelled due to weather student/client will be contacted the day of the lesson via preferred contact method. Clients are responsible for rescheduling the lesson.

​

• Lessons are given in rain, if conditions are unsuitable for riding we can continue the lesson as an unmounted lesson in the barn. Unmounted lessons are extremely important to continue safe practices in and around the barn.

​

• Conditions unsuitable for riding are heavy rain, lightning, snow storms, less than 25 degrees, or a heat index over 100 and extremely strong winds. In these cases unmounted lessons will be given. Unmounted lessons are extremely important to participate in for a students riding education.

​

• If you would like to reschedule due to weather it is the responsibility of the student to do so within the 24 hour window.
