Updated Lesson Schedule

Hey All,

There were quite a few issues with the schedule, unfortunately.  I have moved some groups/riders around to try to resolve conflicts but I still need to make some major revisions to Saturday, so I will have to post that later as we are still trying figure that out.

Riders highlighted in YELLOW still have let me know there is an issue with their time which still needs to be resolved.  Spaces highlighted in GREEN are still open.

To everyone that has been flexible - THANK YOU SO MUCH.  We are doing our absolute best to accommodate everyone while ensuring that all our riders are placed in suitable classes.

SATURDAY SCHEDULE IS STILL BEING REVISED

TENTATIVE September Lesson Schedule

Hey Raynham Riders!

We are looking forward to seeing many familiar faces next week! We'd also like to give a big WELCOME to all our new students! We hope everyone is excited to start lessons next week.

I would like thanks Amy, Alex, and Helen for their many hours of assistance organizing the schedule. Fitting in almost 190 riders, while also managing the horses' workloads, coaching staff, creating compatible groups, keeping family members together, carpooling, etc. is extremely challenging.  If we somehow missed you - our sincere apologies!  Please email me ASAP and we will sort it out.  Please be aware that we were not able to accommodate all requests for private lessons, there simply was not enough space in the schedule. Spaces highlighted in GREEN are still open - if there is a private spot that you are available for, let us know!  We were able to keep the group sizes small to ensure all our riders get the most out of their lessons!

Please review the schedule below you are able to attend your assigned time. If there is an issue with your time, please let me know by 5:00pm tomorrow so I can many any needed changes and post an updated schedule by Friday.

RIDER NOTES:

There are some riders/classes that require further details:

• Mon @ 5pm - Mila, Emma, Kate - currently have you guys scheduled as a 3p semi, since I think it would be a fun group! If you would prefer private lessons, Emma could have the 4:30pm time slot? Let me know!
• Tuesday @ 5:00pm: We will do a private lesson for Roya at the same time for the first few weeks to help her catch up :)
• Wednesday @ 5:00pm: We included Danna in the group class with Rocco and Emelie. If she would prefer a private lesson, there is an opening with Helen at 8:30pm on Tuesdays?
• Thursday @ 4:30pm/5:00pm: James, Lewis, Noah - You could potentially all ride together once Noah and Lewis have done a few more lessons.
• Sun @ 9:30am: Marina - I did not have any private lesson spaces available on Saturdays but if you can do Sundays until you are ready to join a group, there is an adult beginner lesson on Thurs. @ 8pm or Saturdays @ 12:30pm

TENTATIVE FALL LESSON SCHEDULE

Fall Lesson Registration Reminder

Hey Raynham Riders! 

It's hard to believe, but September is just around the corner. If you have not yet submitted your availability for fall classes, please do so by Sunday, August 25th. I will be creating the schedule the following week and will have it posted by Thursday, August 29th. As always, please provide AS MANY options as possible so I can create a schedule that works for all our riders and ensures riders are grouped appropriately.

Please let me know if you have any questions! I look forward to seeing you all back at the barn soon!

Fall Lesson Registration

Hey Raynham Riders!  

It's hard to believe that we are a week into August already, we hope everyone is having a FANTASTIC summer!  While we're not nearly ready for the summer to be over, we can't wait to see everyone back in the saddle.  Below is the link for the fall lesson registration form.  We have split the registration form up by group lessons and private lessons again this year in an attempt to simplify creating the schedule.  If you have any questions about how to submit your form, just send us an email (info@raynhamstables.com).

As in previous years, please provide AS MANY OPTIONS as possible.  Making the schedule work for all of our riders, horses, and instructors is incredibly difficult and flexibility for times is the only thing that makes it a bit easier!  If you have preferred times, please let me know in the comments sections and we will do our absolute best.

Again, we are looking forward to seeing everyone back at the barn soon!

Nikki, Lindsay & Caryn
