Breezy Meadows Riding Program Guidelines.pdfRiding Lessons
MONDAY-FRIDAY: 4:30pm - 7:00pm
Breezy Meadows offers lessons in English and Western disciplines, and occur year-round. Children must be at least 6yo to attend lessons. All lesson signs ups occur via an on-site interview with the child present. Lesson spaces are available first-come, first-serve. Students who have their own horse may bring it onto the property for lessons, but must provide a copy of the current negative coggins and shot record first. Those using their own horses will have more scheduling flexibility. Our instructor will travel for off-site lessons with an additional travel fee. Once a student is on schedule in the program, it is that student's responsibility to keep up with our events calendar to see their weekly lesson schedule! All lessons must be pre-paid via cash, check, or card. Only money orders will be accepted in place of a "check". Written receipts may be given upon request. Credit card payments will include a processing fee. Students in the program also have a chance to compete in horse shows with the barn. This is a privilege, not a right, and students will be chosen by the instructor to compete and represent the farm.
This is a copy of the Breezy Meadows Riding Program Guidelines that will be given to you at the interview. You may download and print this copy to keep at your convenience. Once you've joined the lesson program, it is your responsibility to be familiar with and abide by these guidelines. It is also the parent/riders responsibility to keep up with our events calendar to see your weekly lesson schedule.
