Ages:

Typically student range from ages 8 to Young Adults. However, we will take younger and older students. For younger students the hour and a half+ class my be too much. So, they come a half an hour late and take several drink and snack brakes. For us, older middle aged people I find that vaulting in moderation is best. A little stretching, a little barrel work and vaulting on the horse is fun and is great exercise.

Vaulting Rules:

Vaulting rules are the standards by which a rider conducts him/herself when vaulting in company, whether showing or during instruction.  A well-mannered rider is aware that the practice of these rules is a safety fact for them and others.

1.      Obey the instructor at all times.

2.      Do not tell others what to do. (However, do help other vaulters by being a good mentor.)

3.      Students must dress properly for vaulting and the weather.

4.      Never run in front of the horse.

5.      Never stand in front of or behind the horse

6.      Always warm up before vaulting.

7.      Never practice alone.

8.      Be on time to your lessons. (Call if you are going to be late and remember to stretch.)

9.      Specters must not distract the riders

10. Always be ready to help spot for your teammate.

11. Always praise your teammates often on their achievements.

12. Never ride on a horse that has not been trained for vaulting.

13. Remember to stand in line patiently.

14. Stand tallest to smallest with your hands behind you, at attention.

15. Land softly on the horse’s back and do not dig your heels, knees, or toes into the horse.

You have three choices of paying.

 

First, Pay each time You Come

For student that do not want to take advantage of our discount programs or would like to do a try it lesson to make sure they like it.

Cost: $35.00 cash per lesson

Remember that if you pay each time you come and miss your lesson day that your lesson spot may be given away. The reason is that when you miss your lesson the lesson spot is not being used or being paid for.  So, we lose that money and the horses have costs that must be met regardless.

If you would like to avoid this pay by the month or by automatic debit/credit.

For students that would like to ride and vault we give a great discount, when using our automatic payment program. 

The cost is 140.00 a month for both once a week riding and vaulting lessons. 

Yes, you may take both lessons on the same day, provided both classes are going on and there is room.

For example, I have Thursday Home School Students that ride in our 3:00 pm class, then do guardianship at 4:00 pm, vault at 4:30 pm.

There are no refunds or credits.
