reschedule your ride at another time using our online (Google) calendaring
system. A riding time is considered to
be an approximately 2 hour period in either the morning, afternoon or evening.
This is generally governed by the feeding schedule which is sunrise, midday &
sunset. We now offer three programs, 1 reserved ride time per week
(weekdays only) at $130 per month and 2 reserved ride times per week at $170 per month. For those of you who are exceptionally keen, we also offer a program giving you three reserved ride times per week for an all inclusive
price of $210 per month. Note that in all cases this is the total all inclusive
price, There are no other fees and you are not required to take lessons although
if you feel the need you can bring your own instructor/coach. Under
certain circumstances John (Level 1 CEF certified) or Kathy might be talked into
giving a lesson or two. 
The above
fees are based on this premise.
