When clients are admitted for participation in The RTC’s program, volunteers, horses and staff, are assigned and look forward to working with each client every week. Please be considerate of their time and arrive promptly for your scheduled lesson. The amount of time you are late will be deducted from the total lesson time. Clients who are more than 10 minutes late for their lesson may not be allowed to ride.
All client cancellations must be made at least 24 hours in advance. Clients may notify The RTC of their cancellation via the office phone, email, or through notification of the appropriate instructor (contact information available at The RTC).
Any combination of three consecutive “no-shows” or cancellations without a 24-hour advance notice will result in the dismissal of the client from The RTC’s program.
Weather cancellations will be made by The RTC’s staff at least two hours prior to the lesson time. All clients/parents/guardians/ caregivers will be notified via their preferred mode of contact as designated on the Client Application.
