School Horse Lesson Program
Our school horse program caters to riders who do not have their own horses and are looking to develop their basics on a safe lesson horse. To secure your dedicated coach, assigned horse, and weekly spot on our schedule, all registrations are handled via an upfront monthly subscription package.
Program Tuition & Inclusions
-
Monthly Program Subscription: $285.00/month + GST for a group lesson space or $375/month + GST for a private lesson space.
-
What’s Included: One (1) scheduled group/private lesson per week on a school horse.
-
Class Cap: Strictly limited to a maximum of four (4) riders per class to ensure high-quality individual attention.
-
Billing Cycle: Flat-rate, automatic billing processed on the 1st of each calendar month.
Time Commitments & Horsemanship
Equestrian education extends beyond the saddle. To build well-rounded horsemanship skills, students must manage their time blocks strictly:
-
Pre-Lesson Arrival: Students must arrive exactly 30 minutes prior to their scheduled ride time to independently groom, check legs, and tack up.
-
Post-Lesson Departure: Students must allocate 30 minutes after their ride time for untacking, horse cooling, grooming, and equipment cleaning.
Program Attendance & Withdrawal Policies
-
No Per-Lesson Sales: We do not offer individual drop-in classes. Lesson subscriptions are a fixed package and cannot be prorated, discounted, or adjusted for planned or unplanned absences (e.g., family vacations, minor illnesses, or school conflicts).
-
No Makeup Lessons: Due to facility capacities and strict daily workload safety limits for our school horses, missed lessons are strictly forfeited.
-
30-Day Unenrollment Notice: To cancel your subscription and surrender your weekly program spot, a minimum of 30 days’ written notice must be emailed to lochendstables@gmail.com. Paid tuition is required through the end of the 30-day notice window.
Incoming Student Intake
-
We currently operate on a waitlist for our permanent 4-person group classes. We do not offer casual trial lessons. To be considered for intake, please Email Us. When a spot matching your experience level opens up, we will coordinate your orientation.
