Preamble:
Our horses are our family, and we would love for you to be a part of it! Proper care of our horses is an expensive endeavour, and we take pride in providing quality care for them. This is only made possible by following the policies listed below.
THE UNDERSIGNED AGREES TO READ AND ABIDE BY THE FOLLOWING POLICIES AND CONDITIONS.
PLEASE INITIAL UPON READING
RESCHEDULING – Clients can book lesson sessions themselves using our Online Booking System to select an appropriate appointment that fits their personal scheduling needs. If a client cannot attend the session that they have scheduled, they may opt for a rescheduled appointment only when written notice of a Rescheduling Request has been given 24 hours to the stable prior to their originally scheduled time slot. Rescheduling Requests are only accepted by email to the email address of welldressedequestrian@gmail.com. If a client opts to reschedule said session, there is a MANDATORY RESCHEDULING FEE of $20.00 + HST per rescheduled date. The rescheduled date is a courtesy from Well Dressed Equestrian Inc. and must be scheduled within 30 days of the original date. There are no exceptions to this policy. INITIAL: ____________
CANCELLATIONS – If a client cancels their session, they are forfeiting their lesson and all fees associated with said cancelled lesson – there is NO make-up date for a cancelled lesson. This includes the scenario of a last-minute rescheduling request/ cancellation due to illness. There are no exceptions to this policy. INITIAL: ____________
REFUNDS – Well Dressed Equestrian Inc. does not offer refunds. All purchases are final sale. There are no exceptions to this policy. Clients have the option of either purchasing lessons individually or as a monthly package. INITIAL: _____________
LATE ARRIVALS – It is recommended to arrive 10 minutes prior to start of your scheduled appointment. If you have been approved by our Coaching Team to arrive 30 minutes prior to your scheduled lesson time to groom and tack up your horse, please do so. If you arrive 20 minutes late for your scheduled lesson’s start time, your appointment is deemed as a late cancellation as there will not be enough time to properly groom, tack up, ride, untack and regroom your horse. These processes are for the well-being of both horse and rider. Please be respectful of our horses’ care, staff schedule and time. INITIAL: __________
WAIVER, POLICIES AND ACCIDENT REPORT FORMS – All waivers and policy forms for each individual client must be read and signed by the client prior to any service. In the case of an accident/incident, it is mandatory that clients fill out an Accident Report Form immediately. INITIAL: _____________

EXTREME WEATHER SCENARIOS – Clients should dress appropriately for the current weather. Lessons will still be held in light rain. Lessons may be cancelled and a make-up lesson date assigned at the discretion of the Coaching Staff due to inclement weather. At the Coaching Staff’s discretion, a riding lesson may be replaced with a horsemanship lesson due to extreme weather conditions that may create a hazard for either horse or rider. If the client prefers to reschedule the lesson to a later date due to weather – please read the RESCHEDULING tab above. INITIAL: _____________
