When can I book a lesson?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Look on my online calendar as your first port of call. This will give an indication of my availability. If nothing appears available, email\u00a0lauren@gretgrixequestrian.com.<\/a><\/p>\n Please note: Weekends are highly popular and often booked out weeks in advance. Do not expect to get a weekend appointment by contacting me the day before.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n How much is a lesson?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n $70 for a 45 min private schoolmaster lesson\u00a0<\/p>\n $60 for a 30 min Equisimulator lesson or 45 min lesson on your own horse<\/p>\n How do I pay?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n All payments are now taken online at time of booking by PayPal’s payment gateway (you can pay by Credit Card or Debit Card – no PayPal account needed). If you are NDIS funded or require another payment method, contact me prior to your lesson.\u00a0<\/p>\n Cash on day is only available by prior arrangement in exceptional circumstances and not by first time customers.\u00a0<\/p>\n Do you just teach kids?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n No! I teach riders of all ages and varying abilities. Whether you are new to riding, or a more experienced rider needing \u201ceyes on the ground\u201d I can help. I teach riders from age 4 to 70+! Adults returning to riding are most welcome.\u00a0<\/p>\n Do you have horses I can ride?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Yes, we have a small team of schoolmaster horses & ponies<\/p>\n Do you do trail rides?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n No, sorry – this is not something we offer<\/p>\n Do you offer group lessons?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Generally, no. However semi private lessons (2 riders) can be coordinated for siblings or friends to share a lesson. Ideally, this service is for those who have ridden here before. Beginner lessons are conducted 1:1 only.\u00a0<\/p>\n Do you travel?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Locally, yes – if you have your own horse. Extra fees will apply. Most lessons are conducted on my property (address provided on booking).\u00a0<\/p>\n What time should I arrive for my lesson?\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Try to arrive as close as possible to your allocated time – not too early (and let me know if you\u2019re running late). I have factored in time for saddling up and pre-ride discussions into appointment times. Please wait and I will be with you at your allocated time<\/strong>. Often I am busy with my family or other clients.<\/p>\n Please be mindful that this is also my family\u2019s residence & respect their need for privacy<\/strong><\/p>\n What should I bring?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Riders should wear long pants, enclosed shoes and a helmet (if they have one). We can provide helmets if necessary. In warm weather, please bring a drink bottle and sunscreen. A warm, waterproof coat is a good idea in winter.\u00a0<\/p>\n If it rains\/is boiling hot\/there\u2019s a storm….what do I do?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n If the weather is unsafe, I will notify you within an hour of your lesson time. I still conduct lessons in light rain. If it is very hot, your lesson will be conducted in the morning or evening. Lessons will be postponed in extreme weather which poses a risk to rider safety.\u00a0 In winter, there will be the option of having lessons in a local indoor arena on allocated days – extra fees apply.\u00a0<\/p>\n Do you take horses for training?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Yes. I take horses for further education, general schooling and to bring back into work. I also can take on horses to sell on.\u00a0 I am not a horse breaker or remedial re-trainer for \u201cproblem\u201d horses with potentially dangerous vices.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Contact details –<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n Lauren Gretgrix Gretgrix Equestrian 0474074712<\/p>\n E: lauren@gretgrixequestrian.com<\/a><\/p>\n Address provided on booking.<\/p>\n Please text or email as I do not answer my phone when teaching or riding.<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u00a0 Frequently Asked Questions\u00a0 \u00a0 If you have queries about our services, please read through this FAQ before emailing – we might already have the answer here for you!
