RTS Rider Newsletter

Hello Riders and Parents:

1.  After a few bumps we have breezed into the summer schedule!  We have a few openings in saddle club AND some slots in the July and August Camps.
 
2.  Reminder that the stable is closed for LESSONs from June 28 to July 11.  Saddle Club, Trail Club, and Rider Club riders will only receive 3 lessons in July and the riding fee is $93.75 (instead of $125).
 
3.  If you need a make-up lesson from June - there are some openings on this Saturday, June 26!  Email ASAP if you need a make-up.  
 
4.  Welcome to several new adult riders that started in June!!  A reminder to the new riders that we are on the 'Summer Schedule' and everything changes in September.  If you would like to ride with us in September - please look at the 'Fall Schedule' on the website. 
 
5.  Sport Riders please be patient regarding the trip to Coldwater.  I am having trouble locating a 4-horse trailer to lease, rent, or buy.   We WILL go - just don't know when :(.
 
6.  Leasers please refresh your knowledge of your lease agreement.  Some leasers are not taking good care of the equipment or cleaning up after themselves.  The stable administrative assistant (Molly M) will be getting with you this month if you do not have a current lease agreement on file.
 
7.  Saddle and Trail Club will NOT have the group lesson this month due to the stable closure.  The group schedule for July is:
    Monday Saddle Club with Anne & Cheryl Lynn:  July 26, 5:30-7:30 pm
    Wednesday Saddle Club with Chad:  July 28 6:00-8:00 pm
    Saturday Saddle Club with Katie B, Kady Lou, Shanna, & Cheryl Lynn:  July 31, 8:45-10:45 am
    Saturday Trail Club with Katie B & Kady Lou:  July 31, 9:30-11:30
 
8.  Of course, the stable is NOT closed for two weeks for leasers, owners, and stable management staff!  Thursday supervised leasers should provide their own adult supervision for July 1 and July 8!  
 
9.  The private lesson schedule is confusing . . . please email me if you can't find a private lesson time.  There are several openings - the numbers by the names are the weeks in the month that the lesson time is taken.  For example, 1 JW means that somebody with the initials JW has the lesson time on the first week of the month.  If you don't see any more numbers by that time - then the rest of the weeks are available.
 
10.  Several rain storms may pop up during lesson and camp hours.  The policy for Trail, Saddle, & Rider Clubs AND Campers is to come to your lesson unless the website says the stable is closed!  I will also leave a message on my home and cell phone if the stable is closed due to severe weather.  We do not close the stable when a squall blows through - however, we do get the riders out of the storm and keep them in the barn.  We use that time to go over horse and stable care.  
 
11.  Stay hydrated before, during, and after your visit to the barn in the sub tropic heat!
