The unmounted education classes are held on Saturdays at 10am. Complimentary tack classes are also offered every Saturday at 11am. Denver Equestrians, LLC will be closed one week per quarter to give the lesson horses and instructors a break, run horse shows and special events, and complete facility upgrades and cleaning. The weeks that are off will be communicated via the attached calendar and available on our website.
Student will receive credits toward drop-in lessons to book online each month. Student is in charge of scheduling. If lessons are not scheduled, or canceled and not rescheduled within the month, there is no guarantee that a student will receive the maximum number of classes offered. Please remember that our Stable operates on an annual term of weeks on and weeks off throughout the year. Stable must pay all monthly costs for the number of school horses needed to teach the scheduled lessons. As a result, Stable’s expenses stay the same, regardless of whether the Student’s lesson is taken. Therefore, The best way to get the most value out of the program is to make it a priority and a commitment not to miss your dedicated lesson time(s). All lessons canceled by Stable due to unforeseen circumstances will be rescheduled.
