    Group Lesson Policies

    • Students registered in group lessons will be placed in a regular lesson on the same day/time every week from their starting date to the last week in June. In order to keep the regular lesson space, lessons will be charged to the student's account each week even if the student cannot make the lesson for any reason or NSEC has to reschedule the lesson due to any unforeseen circumstances that may arise.


    • If a student cannot make a scheduled lesson for any reason, they must give at least 15 mins notice BEFORE their scheduled lesson by email or text in order to qualify for a FREE make up lesson in a group lesson of similar riding experience outside their regular lesson in order to offset the missed lesson charge and to ensure sure they keep up with the rest of their group.


    • If a group lesson must be rescheduled for any reason by NSEC due to unforeseen circumstances (instructor illness, bad weather, emergencies, ect), students will be notified immediately and will qualify for a FREE make up lesson.


    • Make up lessons may only be scheduled in other group lessons during the week and must be scheduled by the end of the current term. If they are not schedule by the end of the current term, they will be forfeit and no reimbursement will be made


    • If notice is not given 15 minutes before the lesson, the student will not qualify for a make up lesson and the missed lesson fee will not be reimbursed


    • If a student misses their scheduled make up lesson without notice, the student will not qualify for a new make up lesson to replace the previously scheduled one


    • In order to terminate group riding lessons at NSEC, a minimum of 2 weeks notice must be given by phone, email or in person, otherwise a termination fee equivalent to two group riding lesson charges will be applied to the student’s account.


    • All students will attend 3 to 4 mandatory Stable Management classes throughout the year that are taught off the horse. If a student is unable to attend a Stable Management session, they must reschedule within the Stable Management week or they will be charged the full lesson price and they will not qualify for a free make-up lesson.


    • If a student misses two stable management weeks in a row, they will not be able to ride until they have completed a stable management class outside the regular schedule at an additional cost.

    • Privates and Semi-Private lessons are billed depending on how many students are present at the lesson. If one student is unable to make a lesson and gives the required the 24 hrs notice, the remaining student will be charged as a Private


    • If a student cannot give NSEC 24 hours notice for any reason, including illness or injury, a miss charge of the full lesson fee will be applied to their account.


    • All students will attend 3 to 4 mandatory Stable Management classes throughout the year that are taught off the horse. If a student is unable to attend a Stable Management session, they will be charged the full lesson price.
