  • Tiny Tot Lessons
  • Beginner Lessons
  • Intermediate Lessons
  • Private Lessons
  • Academy Programs
  • Homeschool & Horses


BILLING & PAYMENTS

Tuition at Georgetown Riding Academy is charged on a monthly enrollment basis, not per lesson. Monthly tuition reserves a rider’s weekly lesson time and assigned lesson horse, regardless of attendance, holidays, or calendar variations.

  • Tuition is due on the 1st of each month.
  • Families may choose to pay via cash, Venmo, or credit card.
  • All families are required to keep a valid credit card on file, regardless of payment method.
  • Payment preferences are selected on the Credit Card Authorization Form.

Credit Card Charges & Service Fees

  • All payments processed by credit card will incur a service/processing fee.
  • By keeping a credit card on file, families authorize Georgetown Riding Academy to charge the card for missed payments, outstanding balances, late fees, add-on lessons, or other charges in accordance with this agreement.

Prorating

  • Prorating is offered only during a rider’s first month of enrollment.
  • No prorating will be applied after the initial enrollment month for any reason.

Late Fees

  • A $25 late fee will be applied if monthly tuition is not received by the 7th of the month.
  • Add-on lessons must be paid within 5 days of the lesson date. A $10 late fee will apply after this period.
  • Accounts with unpaid balances may result in lesson suspension until the account is brought current.


ATTENDANCE, CANCELLATIONS & SCHEDULING

  • A minimum of 24 hours’ notice is required to cancel or reschedule a lesson.
  • Lessons canceled with less than 24 hours’ notice or missed without notice are forfeited.
  • Missed lessons due to illness, vacations, or personal scheduling conflicts are not refunded.

Scheduling Communication

  • All scheduling requests, cancellations, reschedules, and 30-day withdrawal notices must be submitted through Georgetown Riding Academy’s official GroupMe scheduling chat.
  • Messages sent via text message, email, social media, or verbal communication are not considered valid notice.


FIFTH LESSON POLICY

Some months may include a fifth scheduled lesson day based on the calendar.

  • The fifth lesson is a scheduled lesson day, and participation is not optional.
  • The fifth lesson may be used as a built-in makeup lesson if:
  • A rider canceled a scheduled lesson with proper 24-hour notice, or
  • The instructor missed a scheduled lesson during that month.
  • If a rider does not require a makeup lesson, the fifth lesson will be billed as an add-on lesson for that week.
  • Add-on lessons are billed during the week of the lesson and may be paid using the payment method selected on the Credit Card Authorization Form.
  • Fifth lessons are subject to availability, scheduling, and horse welfare.
  • Missed fifth lessons are not eligible for additional makeups or credits.


ARRIVAL & DEPARTURE

  • Riders may arrive no earlier than 15 minutes prior to their scheduled lesson time.
  • Riders should arrive on time and be prepared for their lesson.

Unsafe, disruptive, or disrespectful behavior may result in suspension or termination of enrollment without refund.

  • Georgetown Riding Academy does not offer refunds of any kind for riding lessons.
  • Tuition is non-refundable once a billing cycle has begun.
