GROUP LESSONS
Group lessons are offered for all riders and are categorized by ability level: Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced. Group sessions may have up to five riders in one group. Riders will be responsible for grooming and tacking their horses (beginner students will complete these tasks within the lesson hour with the assistance of a trainer). If you are new, please reach out to us for group placement once you are accepted!
All new riders must apply for a spot in our riding academy (see link below). Accepted applicants will be contacted with information on how to book! |
PROGRAM ELIGIBILITY
Creekside Ranch Rescue is focused on serving community members who may not ordinarily be able to afford the sport of horseback riding. Eligibility for our riding program is determined by financial need and requires an application process. Some examples of eligible students could include those who are on free/reduced lunch through a public school district and/or in the foster care system. Depending on academy openings, there MAY be special consideration given to single-parent families or those with parents working in certain professions. If you are interested in enrolling your student in our riding academy, please complete an application.
RIDER REQUIREMENTS
Our first priority is the safety of our horses and riders, so we ask that all participants adhere to our requirements. Children must be at least 5 years old and potty trained in order to begin riding lessons. All riders must wear protective headgear and wear appropriate shoes to each lesson. We have a weight limit of 185 lbs for all riders as we only have small lesson horses and ponies. Thank you for helping us keep everyone safe! Please reach out if you believe any of these requirements will be problematic for your appointment.
CANCELLATION POLICY
Lessons may be cancelled or rescheduled up to 24 hours in advance of the appointment at no cost. If a cancellation occurs within the 24 hour period, the cost of the lesson will be charged. Exceptions to these rules may apply if the lesson is cancelled due to illness or an emergency. If the trainer cancels the appointment due to inclement weather, the lesson will be rescheduled at no additional cost. If the trainer cancels the appointment due to illness or an emergency, the lesson will be rescheduled at no additional cost.
