We are excited to officially<\/em> welcome homeschool families to Shady Creek! As a homeschool family ourselves, it seems only right to have classes tailored for our fellow homeschool students and families. So, starting last\u00a0school year, in addition to the other lessons traditionally offered – private, mini-lessons, group lessons, couples and family rides – we started\u00a0BOTH group riding lesson times and Clinics (a monthly topic-specific field trip for your student, family or group) set aside for homeschool students.<\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

\u00a0Homeschool Small Group Riding Lessons:<\/b><\/p>\n

$45\/Group homeschool lessons\u00a0<\/b>(Please contact us for group lesson schedule. Days\/ times can be available based on enrollment or consensus of best time for participants. Homeschool group classes are scheduled weekdays before 3:00 and therefore\u00a0group students receive $5 discount off regular group rate.)<\/p>\n

Pre-paid Lesson packages of 6 Group lessons are offered at an even greater discount of $37.50 per lesson = package price of $225<\/strong><\/p>\n

If your child is younger than 7 a mini-lesson<\/a> may work better for them – please talk to Julie if you have any questions about what lesson type would work best for your family.<\/p>\n

\u00a0CONTACT JULIE<\/a> with any questions or to schedule lesson time.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Shady Creek has both indoor & outdoor arenas so lessons are not cancelled due to typical weather conditions.<\/p>\n

Please note: We\u00a0offer various\u00a0payment methods for services: Venmo (@George-Geerdes), cash or check.<\/span><\/p>\n
