Fall Lesson Schedule

Hello Everyone!

I apologize for the delay in getting this out, it was much trickier than usual this year.  I have already thought of a few plans to improve the process in the future!  Below is the tentative schedule, please click on the photos to enlarge.  I am still missing forms from approx. 20 riders so we may have to tweak it slightly.

If you are missing from the schedule or are scheduled for a time that does not work - please don't panic, just send me an email, and I will sort it out.

Thank you to everyone for their support and patience!

IMPORTANT NOTES:

- Classes start tomorrow, Monday, September 1st
- Please come into the NEW office at your first class for registration (payment & new rider forms)
- Have a fantastic first day of school for those heading back this week :)

Fall Schedule is Coming!

Hi Everyone!

I am still working out the fall schedule as I received quite a few more forms last night and this morning.  I promise I will have it posted ASAP!  Thanks for your understanding.

Fall Lesson Registration

Happy Monday Everyone!

The beautiful new fencing!

It’s hard to believe that school starts again next week, the summer has flown by much to fast!  It’s been very busy with our fun-filled camps running for the past 8 weeks, lessons in the evenings and shows every weekend.    If you haven’t been here since June, a lot has happened around the barn as well in the past two months.  We have lovely brand-new fencing in the front paddocks and each paddock also has a year-round automatic waterer.   We have also fenced in the outdoor jumping ring to prevent any escaping ponies, which means more beginners will have the opportunity to ride outdoors.  We have improved the footing in both indoor arenas by adding sand and re-oiling so they are wonderfully dust-free!  Lastly, we have a terrific new heated/air-conditioned office unit which was amazing for camp this summer and will be the office for lesson registration and during schooling shows and clinics.   We still have more work on the go as we are hoping to build a catch paddock area for the school ponies closer to the barn before the snow flies.  There is never a dull moment at the barn!

 

The NEW drinking post waterers work year-round!

The Fall Lesson Registration Form was posted on the website August 1st.  As in previous years, the form gathers client availability and based on this information, we create a schedule that best meets everyone’s needs.  Please provide as many options for time slots as possible, especially if you are requesting a group class or a lesson at the same time as a sibling/family member.  If you have not yet submitted your form, please do so by Wednesday, August 27th so that we can have the schedule finalized by this Friday as lessons begin next Monday.

We can’t wait to see everyone back at the barn!

Our terrific new office!
