Tuesday
On this webpage you can sign up and cancel your lesson each week before Tuesday 21:00. Your update on the website should be “Signed up” or “Cancelled” on the correct date and only your lesson update with the correct date is valid.
Date not correct?
When the date is not correct, please contact our webmaster to prepare the mistake and inform the lesson commissioner by email to make a note for the weekly schedule.
In doubt if you can ride?
If you are in doubt for some reasons if you can ride, inform the lesson commissioner by emailing (it is best to email before Tuesday 21:00). Together you can see what is possible and in case it don’t work out your lesson will be cancelled without paying the unsubsidized lesson price.
Wednesday
On Wednesday between 12:00 and 14:00 you can expect the scheme for help during the lesson changes and the lessons itself up to date on the website: Weekly schedule
Please always check both schedules!
Thursday
When you cancel after the deadline you will have to pay the unsubsidized lesson price. We can only use subsidy for members who are riding and we are obligated to pay the lessons we ask for when the schedule is made to the stables. Paying the unsubsidized lesson compensates the costs which are made.
Be present 30 minutes before your lesson
On Thursday we expect every member 30 minutes before there lesson to be at the stable. The schedule paper can be find on the bar, please sign on the paper you are present.
Arriving later than 30 minutes before your lesson without notification
Always indicate when you are arriving later than expected. Other hippoers in your lesson can take into account you may need help. In case you can’t make it, the horse schedule needs to be revisioned. It is important that every horse is saddled with care and therefore we will help each other out.
Repeatedly being late or not giving any notification will result in having to pay the full lesson price!
You are scheduled to help during lesson changes?
In order to make the lesson changes run as smooth and fast as possible, we have scheduled two persons for every lesson to help everyone getting on their horse. We devide this as much as possible over all members riding. Please check out weekly if you are scheduled to help. The other lessons are counting on you same as you are counting on help in your own lesson 😉
Cancelling after the deadline
Please indicate as soon as possible if you can’t make it or if you are in doubt to make it to your lesson! We try to take that into account as much as possible and the stable needs to be informed to see if we need to reschedule the horses.
Inform the board
Please fill in the form on the website to update the whole board in ones about your late cancellation. They will always contact the stable to update and they can possible find another member to ride.
Inform the stable
Besides informing the board, please inform the stable after Wednesday 18:00. It is not always possible for the board contact the stable herself due study and work outside the board. Still, it is important to update the stable as soon as possible due the fact they may need to reschedule the horses.
