CANCELLATION POLICY
We please ask that all student cancellations be made 24 hours in advance.
Each horse is scheduled with your child in mind.
Any cancellations made the day of the scheduled lesson that is a non-emergency is responsible to pay the full lesson price.
Horse & Hive and its instructors reserve the right to cancel lessons with less than 24 hours advance notice in the case of instructor emergencies/illness, inclement weather, or when riding conditions are deemed unsafe. Every effort will be made to reschedule cancelled lessons as quickly as possible. In the case of instructor emergencies or illness a substitute instructor will be provided when and if possible.
INCLEMENT WEATHER POLICY
When possible, instructors may choose to teach lessons inside in the case of inclement weather. These lessons may not include saddle time, however, will cover other aspects of horses, horsemanship, horse handling, care and maintenance that is not covered or discussed when riding. These lessons ensure the riders have a well rounded equine education.
Each instructor will use their own discretion on holding indoor lessons. Please check with your instructor directly if the road conditions are questionable.
