*if a student needs to discontinue lessons, Eagle Creek must be given a one-month's written notice in order to fill that slot or $140 for that month's lessons.

*typically one one-hour session per week, exceptions can be made if necessary

*students are expected to get here 20-30 minutes before their lesson to groom and tack up (put on saddle and bridle). They then get between 45 minutes and an hour ride time. Each student is expected to untack the horse afterwards unless another student is going to be riding it.

*Make-ups are allowed if: there is severe weather (heavy rain, ice, thunder and lightening, etc.) or a student is sick. If the student is sick, we must be notified 24 hours before the lesson or the lesson time is forfeited. If a student does not show up for a lesson without making prior arrangements with the instructor, the lesson is forfeited. Make-ups have to be done within 7 days or they are forfeited. If makeup procedures are abused, Management has the right to take them away.

*lit arena and premises allows riding after dark

*horsemanship program allows riders to progress at their own rate and develop well-rounded horsemanship knowledge, and they receive certificates as they progress. Each level of the program includes riding skills and non-riding skills and certain levels include both English and Western skills so that students receive a well-rounded base of riding skills and horse care and management knowledge. This program would be great for homeschoolers to use as part of their curriculum.

*drill team, barrel team, show team, and FIRST program allow riders to focus on their choice of disciplines to keep up their skills and interest. These activities have been put on hold for 2007. We look forward to starting back strong in '08.

*occassional field trips and social activities allow students the opportunity to get together and enjoy a different horse-related activity

*friendly, family-oriented atmosphere allows parents to rest assured that their child /children is/are in good hands. Riders are instructed in an encouraging, not discouraging, manner.

*please call for current openings

Students who are involved in drill team, shows, or FIRST are expected to attend their regular lessons each week.
