What happens if I miss a lesson in my quarterly package?
No refunds or make-up lessons will be provided if a rider does not attend a lesson within the quarter.
What happens if my lesson has to be cancelled?
Please contact me Program Director. You will be individually scheduled into a 'make-up' lesson at a time that works well for you.
When are quarterly schedules and payments due?
Quarterly schedules (i.e. commitment to the weekly lesson[s] that you will attend) and quarterly payments are due on or before the first day of riding.
What do I pay if I ride in more than one lesson per week?
Simply complete the following equation: (quarterly package rate)(number of lessons per week) = what I pay per quarter.
How long is a quarter? When does each quarter begin and end?
