ALL ROUND EQUINE FAQ'S
How old does a rider need to be? – Generally speaking, riders need to be 6 years of age or older. Please email with inquiries for younger riders.
When should I arrive for my lesson? – Please feel free to arrive 5-10 minutes early for your
lesson and enjoy our setting while waiting for your lesson to start. This will help us make a
smooth transition from one student to the next and will help you get the most out of your
lesson time.
Do I have to have special boots? – Yes. You will need slick soled boots with a good heel for
riding. Your safety depends on it. Cowboy boots or jodhpur boots can be obtained locally and
affordably.
Do I need a helmet? – We have helmets for you to use, but you may want to purchase one for
yourself. All helmets used at All Round Equine must be ASTM approved. All students are
required to wear a helmet for their riding lessons.
What else should I bring to my lesson? – For warmer months, bring plenty of drinking water,
bugspray, sunscreen and other warm weather comfort items. For cooler months bring fingered
gloves, a cozy scarf and wooly socks, maybe even a spare jacket and a warm drink.
Cancellation and Make-Up Policies - Any cancellations made with more than 24-hour notice will not incur any fees and can be rescheduled subject to availability. Cancellations made with 24-hour or less notice (for any reason) will result in you being charged for that lesson. We will not be able to schedule another lesson until that fee is paid. A “No Call, No Show” – student does not cancel lesson and does not show up for it – will result in the student being charged for that lesson. All Round Equine reserves the right to cancel any lesson at any time for any reason. Any lessons cancelled by All Round Equine will be rescheduled at the rider’s convenience.We reserve the right to dismiss any student due to chronic cancellations, tardiness, frequent rescheduling and/or “no call no shows”. Cancellations may be made by phone or text. Holly Fisher 918-500-4911.
Sickness - If you are ill, your household is ill, suspect you might be ill, have been exposed to COVID or diagnosed with COVID, STAY HOME and please let us know as soon as you possibly can. Cancellation policies still apply.
About the Weather - Our facility is outdoor, so we are subject to the whims of Oklahoma weather. We keep a close eye on Tulsa weather stations and try to be as proactive as possible to make sure our students’ lessons are safe and enjoyable for both horse and rider. In the Spring, Summer and Fall months, we will schedule lessons in the mornings and evenings and will not conduct lessons if the heat index is forecasted to be over 100 degrees Fahrenheit at the scheduled lesson time. In the Spring, Fall and Winter months we will not conduct lessons if the forecasted temperature is less than 40 degrees Fahrenheit at the scheduled lesson time. Students are expected to dress accordingly for the weather. Cancellations made by students with less than 24-hour notice due to perceived discomfort are subject to the full lesson fee being charged.
We will not endanger our students or horse by conducting lessons during rain storms, lightning, thunderstorms, blizzards or any other kind of severe weather. We promise to communicate with you as soon as we can and reschedule your lesson for a safer time.
Can I leave my child with you for lessons? – Minors will need to have a parent or legal guardian
in attendance for their lesson. This means the parent is on grounds and able to see and hear
the lessons.
Can I bring guests? – We ask that you notify us if you are bringing anyone other than your
enrolled child to the lesson. This includes adults and children. Anyone who enters our front gate must sign a liability release. Guests, whether minors or adults need to be closely monitored by you while at our facility to ensure their safety. Please leave your dogs and other pets at home. Certified Therapy pets are allowed, but we need to know ahead of time so we can take measures to keep our horses calm.
