November 2009
We are delighted with the success of the Progressive Tests and congratulate all those who have been awarded badges and certificates. A special mention goes to Ella Matthews who has just attained Junior Progressive Test 3. For more information and to download the booking forms, please our Events Calendar.
We occasionally have ponies looking for riders to love, ride and look after them when they are not being used in the Riding School. This can bring all the benefits of having your own pony without the unforeseen costs and responsibilities. If you are interested in having one of the ponies on Working Livery please let me know as soon as possible. The cost of this is £25 per week. Half sharers £15 per week. Ponies currently available for full share: Arkle. Half share: Joan, Pepsi and Zebedee
We have had to make some changes to our cancellation policy as follows:
Please note for whatever reason 24 hours notice is required to cancel weekday bookings and 48 hours notice for cancelling weekend rides otherwise the full fee is payable. Regrettably there is no exception for illness.
We are pleased to be offering a free service to our working livery customers. If you let us know when you will be coming to see or ride your pony we will be pleased to get him or her in for you and leave the pony in a stable with hay and water until you arrive. Please try to let us know the day before. It will be greatly appreciated it you can turn the pony out after your visit and leave the stable clean and tidy.
Please check the fit of your child's hat and body protector to ensure that they are providing adequate protection. We recommend that hats should be routinely replaced every two years or earlier in the event of sustaining an impact (if dropped or if your child falls off) as the level of protection afforded by the helmet may be reduced. If in doubt please ask Jill, Marion, or Gwenda. A couple of second hand body protectors are available - please ask if you are interested.
Please, Please, Please bring your lesson money in an envelope with your name on it as this speeds up the changeover time between lessons. It is helpful if you write dates of future absences on the envelope (e.g. holidays etc.). Please make cheques payable to Jill Martin-Pope.
We have a strict NO SMOKING policy.
We do not allow dogs, badly behaved children or umbrellas into the yard.
The chickens are much-loved pets, so please be kind to them.
Please complete both the "your details" form and an insurance form if you have not done so recently, or if your details have changed.
