  • The remaining balance of tuition is due on or before June 1. Unpaid balances as of June 1 may jeopardize your child’s reservation in previously reserved weeks.
  • A waiting list is created once eighteen riders register for any given two-week package. Applicants who are placed on the waiting list will not be required to pay the initial deposit until a space becomes available.
  • No refunds will be given after June 1.

Policies and Guidelines for Good and Safe Horsemanship

  • No one except barn employees is permitted in the barn unless the management staff is present.
  • Be considerate of people and animals.
  • No running or yelling in the barn or around horses.
  • Clean up after yourself and others by putting tools and equipment back in their proper storage areas.
  • Ask barn management staff before feeding horses.
  • When any gates or chains are across the barn door, please do not enter.

Our Faculty

For Tiffany, the best way to teach horseback riding is to teach each student differently.
