Lesson Release Form

Fees

Our lesson subscription program requires our riders to pay for lessons each month either on the 1st or 15th. This subscription-based program requires at least 4 lessons per month at a cost of $50 per lesson. If you are not paying for a lesson using the subscription-based package, a lesson is $60.

Arrival

You should plan to arrive 30 minutes before your designated lesson time. This extra time is given so you can prep your horse by grooming and tacking them. If you do not know how, or are too young, to prep your horse, our instructors will guide you through every step.

Cancellation Policy

If you need to cancel a lesson, please give Fox Hollow a 24 hour notice (an exception to this policy is emergencies). If a 24 hour notice is not given, you will lose the lesson. If there is extreme weather or a situation that causes Fox Hollow to cancel your lesson, you will be contacted and your lesson rescheduled.
