Updates for 2010

With the new year quickly approaching, we've got an awful lot to look back on, and an awful lot to look forward to!

You can look forward in the next few weeks to a slideshow of some of the highlights of 2009.

Holiday rides start this week, and they are shaping up to be better than ever. Let's hope the weather holds out for us!!

There will be no regular lessons from Dec. 21st to the 27th. However, Nicole will be available to book some lessons/supervised riding time during that week. Please call or email for availability.

New student forms and a new waiver from the OEF will be made available online and at lessons over the next few weeks. Please also note that our rates ad programs will be changing slightly in the new year. January and February will be transitional months where anyone with an existing package can finish up, and so everyone can continue to enjoy our current rates for another few weeks. Rates will be increase (slightly) and riders will be encouraged to commit to lessons one month at a time and prepay for their rides at the beginning of the month. The option to be refunded a portion of the lesson fee, with 24 hours notice of a lesson cancelation will still be in place. Also look out for special rewards and breaks on lesson prices for riders with perfect attendance.

Our website will be under construction (hopefully still fully functional) over the new few weeks. Please check back for updates! Also, big news! Our business name will change over from Lindsay Hayes Equestrian Coaching and Training, to Hayes Horsemanship in January. A new logo is in the works with our very talented graphic designer, Sheri Houston at End of the Line. Shortly thereafter we hope to offer clothing with the brand new logo (I know, I know, not in time for Christmas...).

A horse Birthday Party is also in the works for the beginning of January.

Horse ground-work sessions have been requested, so we will look into planning some type of clinic or workshop.

We will be looking forward to hosting our second horse show in the spring, (most likely the end of March). This may coordinate with a UWO Equestrian Team horse show.


That's it for now, further information will be posted in the new few weeks.
