1. Membership Benefits

As a subscriber, you gain access to our scheduling calendar to book classes, lessons, and activities according to your selected subscription level.

2. Academic Calendar and Closures

We generally follow the SSISD calendar, with up to 8 weeks of pre-scheduled closures annually for horse rest periods. Closure weeks will be communicated via our academic calendar.

3. Scheduling and Attendance

Students are responsible for scheduling their own classes and lessons through our online scheduler. Please arrive on time, dressed in appropriate riding attire (riding boots with heels and jeans or riding pants). Respectful behavior is mandatory; please avoid running, horseplay, and ensure trash is disposed of properly.

4. Parent and Adult Expectations

Parents should remain outside the arenas during classes but are encouraged to observe from a distance. All drop-offs and pick-ups should occur in the stable lounge/office, particularly for younger children. Conferences with instructors should be scheduled via email at support@angiehugheshorsemanship.com and must occur outside of class time.

5. Media Release and Recording

Angie Hughes Horsemanship (AHHA) reserves the right to record and photograph activities for promotional purposes. Consent is given to the use of these images and recordings.

6. Performance and Results

AHHA does not guarantee specific performance outcomes. Progress depends on individual effort and consistent attendance.

7. Cancellation Policy

Please cancel or reschedule lessons at least 24 hours in advance. Makeup lessons must be scheduled within 30 days of the missed lesson and are limited to 4 per year, including 2 personal days (with 24-hour notice) and 2 sick days (with less than 24-hour notice). Failure to follow this policy may result in charges without makeup opportunities.

8. Inclement Weather Policy

In case of unsuitable riding conditions, mounted lessons may be replaced with unmounted ones. If SSISD closes due to weather, so do we. Rescheduling under these circumstances is not permitted.

9. Fees and Payments

A $65 annual registration fee ($125 for new students requiring a helmet) is due with the first month's tuition and each year on your student anniversary. Tuition is non-refundable and due by the 1st of each month. Late payments after the 8th will incur a $25 late fee.

Any services requested outside of this agreement will be charged to the credit/debit card on file at the time of service.
