Extreme Cold Weather Cancelation - Thursday Jan. 24

Unfortunately it is still -15c here, feels like -26c with the windchill.  I hate to cancel a third time but I don't think anyone will be able to hear me coach over their chattering teeth.   Fortunately tomorrow it is supposed to start warming up again and the highs are in the positive next week!  We ask that rider's reschedule the first time we cancel, if we have to cancel a second Thursday this session, we will deduct it off your next session's fees.  You can wait until next session before rebooking if you'd like to wait for the warmer weather!  

Stay warm!

Extreme Cold Weather Cancellation - Tuesday Jan 22

Hello Tuesday evening riders!  It is supposed to be a bone-chilling - 16c before the wind chill this evening so we are going to cancel classes.  As our Winter Riding Policy states, we ask that riders reschedule the first time we have to cancel in a session.  If we have to cancel classes a second time this session, we will deduct the lesson off your next package of lessons.  Please contact Nikki to rebook your lesson.

Saturday Lessons this Session

Hello Saturday Riders!

Just wanted to clarify the dates for this session.  Since we moved the Try-outs to Jan 5th, we were let with only 6 Saturday classes this session. So that we still have a 7 week session, we are going to make Feb 23rd the last class of this session.  This means that both Session 3 (Jan/Feb) and Session 4 (Mar/Apr) will be 7 week session.

See you in the barn!

Winter Riding Info

Hello Everyone!

Just wanted to remind everyone of our winter lesson policies.  We know that living in Canada, there are going to be some unpleasant days over the next few months and do not want anyone driving to the barn in unsafe conditions.

Lessons Will Be Cancelled During:
- Icy rain
- Heavy snow fall
- Temp. is below -12c before the wind chill

In the event that we cancel classes once during a session, we ask that students schedule a make-up lesson (can be in the following session as well).  If we have to cancel a second time during a session, we will deduct the cost off the following session.

Please note that cancellations will be posted on the blog ONLY so please check before heading to the barn.  On the weekends we will post any cancellations by 8:00am and weeknight lessons will be posted by 2:00pm.

We hope the helps riders stick continue riding during the winter months!  Please feel free to contact us with any questions.

See you in the barn!
