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.
Refund Policy:
No call, no show attendance= NO REFUND
Customer must cancel 3 days prior to scheduled ride to receive a full refund.
Inclement weather: reschedule or full refund.
No additional time will be given for late arrival. Arrival times are listed in your invoices. If you are in a group trail ride, the rest of the group will leave without you.
Cancellations made the day of your ride will only result in a 50% credit.
Code of Behavior: All customers understand and agree that they ride at their own risk, even with a guide present. Our trail guides reserve the right to stop a trail ride at any time (even before it has begun) if they feel customer(s) behavior is disruptive or challenging in any way. If you are dismissed for this reason, a refund will not be given, and you will not be permitted to attend future trail rides.

All customers will receive an invoice to their provided email address. Please note, you must open the invoice to see full itemizations, due dates, itemizations, etc. Our invoices will expire if payment is not made on time, and you will lose your spot.
