New Summer Schedule Begins in May~
Summer will shortly be upon us with its long, hot days and cool, breezy nights. We do our best to avoid teaching lessons during the hottest times of the day, however; we do not cancel lessons due to heat. If your lesson falls during the hottest parts of the day, perhaps you should consider changing to another time. Contact Cheryl to make any changes you need.
Due to heat issues, group lessons will change to Saturday mornings. The following groups will begin May 1. If you are interested in riding in one of these groups, please contact Cheryl A.S.A.P. A limited number of horses are available, so act quickly! Group lessons on CRK horses are $180.00 per month. On your own horse- Special Rate- ONLY $90.00 a month!
Saturdays 9:00 AM- Level 3+ – Walk, Trot, Canter & Beginning Jumping. (2 spaces left- 2 school horses available . The Sat. 3:30 group has been moved to this time)
Saturday 10:00 AM. Level 2 Group– Level 2 is Walk, Trot and beginning Canter. (3 spaces left, 1 school horse available)
Show Results~

English- 1st- Equitation, 2nd- Pleasure, 1st-Hunter Hack, 1st Cross Rail Hunters and 1st Cross Rail Jumpers. She also took home the Cross Rail Daily High Point.

Vacation Credits~
As spring and summer vacation time is upon us, please take note of the CRK Stable vacation policy. As soon as you know your vacation schedules, please contact us so we may give you the proper credit. That way, you won’t lose your lesson spot as you are enjoying your time away.

Cancelling & Rescheduling Lessons– In the event that a rider is unable to attend a scheduled lesson, notice must be given at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the start time of the lesson in order to reschedule it. Cancellation messages may be left on the office answering machine or emailed. You must contact us to reschedule your lesson. One reschedule is allowed per lesson. If you cancel your rescheduled lesson, you forfeit that lesson. No more than two replacement lesson days and times will be offered. If you decline both, you forfeit that lesson. You may reschedule only one lesson per month. The replacement lesson must be scheduled within 30 days of the cancelled lesson or the lesson will be forfeited. We will make every attempt to reschedule lessons, but do not guarantee that everyone’s schedule can be accommodated.

It’s Getting Busy~
As we get into our busy season of the year be sure to hold your lesson time by paying for your lessons in advance. Pay-per-ride lesson spaces will be harder to come by as the season advances and heat begins to play a factor. Remember that if your payment is not received by the last day of the month prior to the one you are paying for, we do not guarantee your spot will be held for you. We currently have students on a waiting list for certain lessons days and those student may be given your spot if your payment is not received. Make sure your horse and instructor are waiting for you by always paying on time. Thank you!
