Semi-private (2-5 people) hour-long lessons are $50, private hour-long lessons are $65, and team lessons (usually the Thursday or Friday before the show) are $35.
We have limited financial aid ($1000/semester) to support those that need it. We may have additional funding depending on our allocated budget from the Student Finance Committee, though this changes every year. For more information about SFC policies, please visit their website detailing their procedures and past approved budgets.
How we organize lessons
How we organize lessons
After you finalize your class schedule at the beginning of the semester (when add/drop ends), you give us your availability on when you can have a weekly OCET lesson.
You will be assigned a lesson group by our schedulers, and a mode of transport (either OC Student Rideline or carpooling with another OCET member). You'll be given everyone's contact so you can arrange time-place in advance of you lesson!
This assigned time will be your lesson for the semester. If you ever need to change it in the future, contact the schedulers and we'll fit you into a group as needed.
**OCET has priority with our partnered barn, Equine Differences, when it comes to scheduling. While you can schedule through them directly, there is a long waitlist for regular clients. We're thankful that EQD reserves space for our members so we are guaranteed lessons each year <3
Reminders:
Reminders:
Cancellation Policy: Lessons must be canceled 24 hours in advance or you are responsible for paying for the missed lesson in full. This payment will be due before you can take another lesson. If you need to cancel, contact our lesson coordinator, your instructor, AND your driver.
a. Only extreme cases (such as severe illness, weather, or death in the family) will be exempt from the 24-hour notification policy. Nonetheless, use courtesy and contact your instructor and your driver rather than just not showing up. Repeated abusers of the cancellation policy will be subject to leaving the team.
Take Care of the Barn, Horses, and Equipment: You are responsible for properly caring for your horse, equipment, and barn space before and after your lesson. You must properly cool down, brush, re-blanket (as needed), and put away your horse after your lesson. Equipment must be cleaned if necessary and returned neatly to the correct tack locker. Report any broken or missing equipment immediately. Clean the aisle space by sweeping up after your lesson and dump in a muck bucket, not a stall or out the aisle door.
Respect Your Driver: Whether it's Rideline or an OCET member, do not keep them waiting. Most of the time they'll leave without you if you are late... Keep phone numbers and call if you are going to be late or if you have canceled your lesson. Good communication is essential!
TLDR; Give us your availability at the beginning of the semester, show up on time for your assigned driver, cancel 24 hours in advance or you must pay full lesson fee, use EQD property and horses with proper care and respect.
