Beginning in March riders may take an additional 1/2 hour lesson to allow for more time to work on equitation and patterns. Cost for the 1.5 hr class is only an additional $55.00 per month. That’s less than $13.00 per week! Be sure to let Cheryl know if you will be signing up for the additional 1/2 hour lesson.
