Policies, Procedures, and Values

2023-2024

Barn Hours

Our barn is always open for clients to check on and spend time with their horses. Our rings are open from 8am-9pm.

Guests

Clients are always welcome to bring guests/visitors to the barn. Please ensure your guests follow the barn safety rules.

Riding School Horses

With forever increasing costs of purchasing and caring for horses, we are proud to be one of very few equestrian programs that continues to offer quality horses and ponies for use in our program. The investment we carry to provide and maintain these horses is an ongoing challenge, but we feel it is an absolute service to the future of our sport to offer such horses.

Our school horse program is an all inclusive fee that includes; Lessons, use of horse. Although we try to partner horses and riders together for a full term, there are times a substitute horse may need to be used. Specific horses are not promised to any rider.

Horses and equipment must be treated with the upmost respect. Riders are responsible for providing their horse with daily care (grooming, hoof care, bathing, etc), and tack must be cleaned and cared for.

Missed Lessons

Any lessons cancelled with 24 hours noticed can be made up (schedules allowing) or substituted with training rides. Lessons cancelled with less than 24 hours notice will be forfeited.

In the event of weather circumstances forcing unsafe conditions to ride, the instructor may decide to substitute the riding lesson for theory class. We believe these are an extremely important part of a riders education.

Confidentiality

We have the utmost respect for our client's privacy, and value confidentiality. We expect our clients to treat our family, business, and fellow clients with the same privacy and respect.

Bullying

Equi-Life Sport Horses has a strict anti-bullying policy. We encourage a team environment, and take pride in our riders level of sportsmanship, and a sense of camaraderie around the barn. It is extremely important to us that all riders, trainers, staff, horses, and the facility is treated with respect.

Volunteer Opportunites

We offer a limited number of volunteer opportunities for our clients. We love having passionate, hard working people to support our team in areas such as horse care, grooming, unicorn club and horse camps. Please inquire about current volunteer positions!
