Scheduling Info

To ensure that things run as smoothly as possible, please visit the calendar page often. This is where you will see if your class is canceled due to weather, for example.

If you need to schedule a lesson, the best thing to do is go to the calendar. I can not remember what 50 different students want or what will or won't work for them. If you do not have a Google calendar, I request that you set one up. When you have created it, all you need to do is go here:

Lesson Calendar . You can enter in BOOKED and your first initial, last name. It will sync with your calendar and with mine.

If you cannot use this feature, then go to my calendar via my website or blog, pick a day/time that works for you and email me. I realize I am difficult to reach by phone. I am working about 70 hours each week teaching and training. Then maintaining and caring for 8 horses and my family leaves little time for returning calls. However, since I am always updating my calendar, I have to be online anyway, so emailing is much easier.

And More on Scheduling!

I am struggling to fit in all the new students with those returning from extended vacations. I am doing my best and feel that something about 'holding' spots needs to be said here. If you go away for the entire summer, or, are a new student who cannot start right away, or any other scenario you can think of that includes you not being here for several weeks at a time or more...your lesson time/day can ONLY be held for you if you have PREPAID.

I believe all of my clients have good intentions, however, what is going on in a client's life does not always include letting me know they will NOT be back. If you have PREPAID a month of lessons, I know you will be back and you can have that space. Otherwise, I end up with prime after school openings not filled, and a waiting list of people that could be in one of them. End result: I lose money trying to be helpful by holding a spot.

Same applies if you ASK me what is available. My response may be," Thursdays at 3pm & 4pm." But guess what, by the time you get home from that lesson I have 2 emails asking for those time slots. I have a large internet presence and people are constantly contacting me for lessons. I do not have the time to tell the askers they have to wait to see if this other person wants it. FIRST ONE THAT COMMITS to a spot gets it.

I apologize for any inconvenience this causes anyone. We are constantly changing and growing with our business and previously this was not an issue because I was not this busy.

Thank you in advance for your understanding.
