Lessons cancelled by students are not eligible for credit and unable to be rescheduled due to equine availability and schedule limitations. Lesson payment reserves your student’s spot in the program as there are limited spaces that are in high demand. This policy also helps keep pricing at a competitive, affordable rate and helps limit price increases program-wide despite increasing operating costs (hay, farrier, insurance, etc.).
– Students must notify instructor if they will be absent so we can plan accordingly. Failure to notify instructor may result in reevaluation of enrolment.
– Late arrival of a student does not alter ending time of a lesson as this will impact lesson times falling after the late arrival. The lesson will be considered “cancelled by student” if students arrive late and past the halfway mark of their scheduled lesson time.
– Excessive cancellation or late arrivals may be cause for reevaluation and if the DOTH lesson program and format is a good fit for the student.
– More than 1 no-call/no-show in a 6-month period and/or more than 2 late arrivals and/or cancellation with call in a month may cause may be cause for reevaluation of enrollment in the DOTH lesson program.
– Lessons canceled by the instructor will be rescheduled or given as a credit during the next month’s lesson invoice.
Weather related: If a lesson is unsafe due to weather the lesson may be adjusted to teach tack cleaning, equine management skills, etc…
Instructor occasionally travels: Advanced notice will be given to students and if your lesson day/time is impacted an effort to reschedule the lesson will be made.
Holiday break weeks are not charged (see yearly lesson calendar)
