Attendance

In order for the lesson schedule to work efficiently, the following attendance policy must be followed

​

A parent or legal guardian must be present during the participant’s lesson at all times

​

Please plan to arrive at least 5 minutes before class time

​

It is the responsibility of the participant/caregiver to notify the instructor prior to the day of the lesson if they will be absent.  Our volunteers commit their time to lessons; our goal is to be respectful of their schedules and notify them at least 24 hrs in advance to changes in the schedule

​

Our team of volunteers will wait 15 minutes in case a participant arrives late for the lesson.  If arrival is later than 15 minutes, the lesson will be considered cancelled; no make up will be provided

​

If a lesson must be cancelled by Purple Pony, you will be notified at minimum one hour ahead of class time. A make up lesson will be arranged

​

If a rider has a scheduled absence a make-up lesson will be offered if an opening is available at another regularly scheduled lesson time. No refunds.

​

 Lessons will be held rain or shine, however in the unforeseen event that PP must cancel a class you will be notified as early as possible.  A makeup lesson will be arranged.

Please Note

Purple Pony will only consider riders who are 4 years old and above

Purple Pony will consider those riders whose weight falls below our maximum of 170 lbs. Thank you for your cooperation

Wait List
