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
