SALKO FARM RIDING LESSON GUIDELINES

1.      Please call 203.256.8450 or email salkofarmandstable@msn.com for Teddie to schedule a day and time for your lesson. This will be your time every week. 

2.      We strictly enforce a 24 hour cancellation policy – ESPECIALLY DURING SCHOOL BREAKS – since we have so many riders from so many different schools, it is up to each parent to cancel during their school breaks – NO EXCEPTIONS!!!!!  Additionally, a rider is only allowed 2 cancellations every 6 months, otherwise they will lose their riding time.

3.      THE ONLY WAY TO CANCEL A LESSON IS TO CALL TEDDIE AT 203.256.8450 AND LEAVE A MESSAGE ON THE ANSWERING MACHINE.  NO OTHER CANCELLATIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED – NO EXCEPTIONS!!!  DO NOT TELL YOUR INSTRUCTOR OR CHRIS -- if you do so, YOU WILL BE CHARGED FOR THAT LESSON.

4.    We require that everyone pay for a series of 5 lessons in advance (a check or cash).  (Should you take any less than 5 lessons, there is a $5 scheduling charge per lesson.)

5.    After a 5 lesson series is completed, you have the option of keeping your lesson time and continuing; BUT you must notify Teddie that you are stopping otherwise you will continue to be charged.  Our students ride all year long, therefore the spaces we have available are limited. Should you decide to stop riding we cannot guarantee that your riding time, if any, will be available at a later date.

6.      Teddie will send all bills on the day of the 3rd lesson in your series (as a reminder), so that parents will have ample time to mail the check or bring the check the day of the 1st lesson of the new series. Any late payments will be assessed a $10 late charge per lesson.

7.      Our Lesson Rates are as follows:

Type of Lesson                              Price per Lesson for Seriesof 5 Lessons/Price of Single Lesson
Private ½ hour (Beginners ONLY)                       $67.50/$72.50
Semi Private 1 Hour (2 riders)                            $90.00/$95.00 each rider                       
Group 1 hour                                                          $75.00/$80.00                       
Private 1 hour                                                        $135.00/$140.00                       
Intro to Riding (3-5 yr olds)                               $50.00/$55.00
 

8.      All riders must wear an ASTM approved safety helmet, long pants or chaps and hard shoes (ankle paddock boots or field/dress boots).  Sneakers and Hiking Boots are absolutely not permitted. These rules are strictly for safety, as it is far too dangerous to ride without proper footwear and helmet.

9.      We are closed on major holidays, i.e., New Years Day, Easter, Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas.
