TERMS AND CONDITIONS
To accommodate the greater demand for riding at the weekend and to ensure that riders have the best opportunity to ride we have prioritized semi-private lessons for riders of different abilities and ages. We also have a very limited number of private lessons at fixed times throughout the day.
CANCELLATION POLICY
Please note that in order to assure the smooth running of the stables, we kindly ask that you give us notification when you cannot make a lesson. Required notice : 48 hours.
If you cancel after the required time, we ask that you re-book a lesson within 2 days to avoid paying for the missed lesson.
PREPAYMENT/VOUCHERS
All lessons are to be prepaid in advance of the booking or by Contessa Vouchers – Vouchers are non-refundable. Prepaid vouchers can not be exchanged for a cash alternative and we cannot give change in cash on any vouchers.
GIFT VOUCHERS
Special Gift Vouchers can be purchased. These are non-refundable and must be used within 3 months of purchase. A Riding Gift Voucher may be exchanged for horse care sessions if preferred.
REFUNDS
All refunds incur a 10% admin fee.
LESSONS
Contessa reserves the right to change a lesson if we have insufficient riders to run a session- we will try our best to notify you of changes.
CLINICS
Clinic payments must be made in advance or cash on the day. Once a clinic is booked if cancelled by the rider he must find a replacement unless there is a waiting list. Clinics have a special cancellation policy of one week.
BODY PROTECTORS
Up to Standard and fitted Body protectors (Standard 2009 onwards) are compulsory to attend any jump lessons or clinics on Contessa horses. We do recommend Body Protectors to be worn at all times when riding. Body protectors are available to be hired from the office for £3 fee. We also strongly recommend riders on their own horses to wear body protectors.
PONY DAYS
Minimum age is 5 years old (must be used to being left without parents).
Parents must supply drink + outdoor clothing + lunch if attending all day. NO NUTS are allowed in any packed lunch.
Please note we are happy for children to be left but we are not registered child carers, so parents please feel free to stay.
PREFERRED INSTRUCTORS AND HORSES
Due to staff holidays/sick days we may need to change pre-booked instructors or horses at the last minute.
DAMAGES
Any damages caused at Contessa Riding Centre LLP will be the responsibilities of the parties involved.
WEIGHT LIMIT
Our current weight limit is 13 stone.
