 LESSON PAYMENT POLICY: 

All scheduled riding lessons must be paid in advance. Non-boarders are expected to pay for all riding lessons by the 3rd of the month. Boarders are billed for scheduled riding lessons on a monthly basis.  Please note a scheduled riding lesson is a lesson time slot reserved for that rider, regardless of whether the rider is out of town, ill, or unable to ride. Payment may be made via cash, check, bank transfer, Venmo or PayPal. If lesson payments are not made by the 3rd of the month, a $35 late fee may be assessed. 

 

LESSON CANCELLATION POLICY: 

A $50 cancellation fee will be charged to any rider that cancels a scheduled lesson for any reason without 24 hours notice, including rider illness or equine injury.  If the rider is a "no show" and gives no cancellation notification, the cancellation fee is $75. Please give ample notice if you must cancel a lesson. If a rider leaves town or must miss lessons, the lesson slot still must be paid in full at the first of the month, and make-up lessons will be scheduled if possible. Please note also that if a rider misses more than 2 scheduled lessons in a row, this is considered relinquishment of the lesson time. Please note that bad weather does not constitute "missing a scheduled lesson," because lessons will be cancelled by the farm if there is bad weather. 

BOARDER VACATION POLICY:

If a rider who boards with CCT must miss lessons due to vacation or must miss more than one lesson due to illness or injury, the boarder will be charged the normal lesson fees, and the horse will be put into training for the number of rides that equals the number of lessons missed, the exception being if the boarder allows CCT to use his or her horse for riding lessons appropriate to the horse's level of training. (Example 1: If two lessons will be missed due to vacation, the horse will receive two training rides, and the boarder will be charged accordingly. Example 2: If the horse owner is out of town for three weeks, the horse is used in lessons for three weeks for riders appropriate for the horse's level of training and experience, and the rider is not charged for missed riding lessons.) 

MAKE-UP LESSON POLICY: 

CCT will make every effort to offer make-up lessons to riders who miss lessons due to weather, illness, horse lameness, or other reasons; however, all make-up lessons will need to be made up within the month the original lesson was scheduled. Lessons not made-up during the month the lesson was scheduled will be forfeited. 

TACKING FEE: 

Please arrive 30 minutes prior to your riding lesson to groom and saddle your horse. A $10 tacking fee will be charged for riders who do not arrive in time to tack up for their riding lesson.  

 

COACHING FEES:
  • Schooling Horse Trial: $200

  • 1 Day Combined Test: $100

  • 1 Day Dressage Show (USDF, CTDS) $100

SHOW CANCELLATION POLICY: 

 A $100 cancellation fee will be charged to any rider that has submitted a show entry form to a show organizer and cancels within 7 (seven) days of the competition, unless a doctor's note or veterinarian's note is provided to CCT  via email or hard copy.  PLEASE NOTE: A notification of cancellation by a parent does not waive this fee, and this fee will not be waived due to bad weather unless a show organizer cancels the competition.

 

 

SHOW EXPENSES POLICY: 

Show expenses are divided by the number of riders competing. Each rider pays only his/her portion of the total expenses.

Two Trainers: $200 (divided by the number of riders competing, i.e., 10 riders = $20 per rider)
