1. We need 24-hour advance notification if it is necessary to miss a lesson. A make-up session will be scheduled when available. Cancellations received less than 24 hours prior to the scheduled session are considered to be UNEXCUSED FORFEITED absences and the cost for the session still applies - UNLESS a doctor's note or acceptable proof of illness is provided (send a video of sick child or other excuse, please).
2. Cancellation of classes due to weather is at the sole discretion of Dream Power Therapy and is not determined by school closure. Messages as to class cancellation will be available on the app or sent to clients two hours prior to the beginning of class session for that day. Credit will be issued for weather or an unscheduled Center closing.
3. Exceptions to the attendance and fee rules can be made in extenuating circumstances. Any client/family with such a situation can submit all pertinent information in writing and the Director will come to an agreement.
Please let us know if you are going to be late. Classes are planned in advance for you. Our dedicated team of volunteers and instructors will be waiting. So, if you're late, communicate! Call or text the instructor at number on the bottom of this form. The manner in which the lesson will continue, will be at the instructor's discretion. NO credit or make-up time will be issued if you don't communicate. If more than 20 minutes late, there will not be a lesson and it well be deemed an unexcused cancellation.
No riding if it's under 40° or above 92° - NO EXCEPTIONS and no notice will be issued by the Center, but the local temperature is posted on our website. If a severe weather alert issued by the Weather Service, there will be no lessons.
Please be considerate of our riders, volunteers, and staff by keeping your rider at home if they are not feeling well. This is inclusive of all viral or bacterial infections. The lesson will be credited with proof of illness.
Appropriate attire is essential for the comfort & safety of the rider. Long shorts are required. Pants that are made of nylon, polyester, or other 'slipper' materials are not acceptable. Closed-toe footwear with a closed back is mandatory for all riders. Riders riding with stirrups will need appropriate riding boots. A rider may NOT ride if not dressed appropriately. Weather related clothing: Please provide jackets, sweaters, gloves, etc. in the event of colder temperatures. Remember, the arena is not heated. Summer related clothing: Short shorts are not permitted, only long shorts that fall just above the knee. Rider's legs can become irritated unless they are protected. Also, proper footwear is required. No sandals, etc. Helmets: Helmets must be worn by all riders prior to and through the entire lesson time. Dream Power will provide an ASTM/SEI certified helmet if the rider does not have their own. Helmets must properly fit the rider. Meaning, they should stay on the head when harnessed without rocking or moving. It should rest so there can be two fingers placed between the eyebrows and the edge of the helmet. Please place helmets back in their designated area after each use.
The weight limit for riding at Dream Power is 275 pounds. Weight restrictions are also based on the extent of a rider's physical, emotional, and cognitive disability, as well as each individual horse's conformation and size. This is due to safety consideration for the horses, riders, volunteers, and instructors. Riders may be asked for an updated weight at any time.
