Lesson Policies
Lessons are billed monthly, in advance.
Discounted per lesson rates apply only when monthly packages are purchased. Otherwise, single lesson rates apply.
Payment is due upon receipt of invoice, or at the latest, the first lesson of the month.
Payments can be paid by e-transfer, cash, or credit card. (Please note: There is a 3% transaction fee on credit card payments.)
Statutory Holidays are optional, but Harrogate must be informed in advance of your decision not to attend.
One missed lesson per month can be made up if 24-hour notice is given. (While all efforts will be made, makeups will be booked based on availability, not level.)
Please note: A Makeup Lesson Request Formmust be received within 7 days of the missed lesson in order to receive a makeup lesson.
At Harrogate we provide trained, on-the-ground assistants for all our beginner riders. We believe this is the easiest and safest way to learn. We recognize that some schools require beginners to start with private lessons. While this is a perfectly acceptable option, we have found that many children really miss interacting with their peers. Private lessons can also be quite cost prohibitive. The Harrogate system allows our new riders to learn with the comradery of friends, increasing their confidence as they develop basic skills. While three months is usually enough time for young riders to attain a degree of independence, each student’s learning time can be different.
