Cancellation & Rescheduling Policy

At Down to Earth Dressage, I understand that life with horses is unpredictable. My goal is to be flexible and fair while also respecting the time I've set aside for you.

Client Cancellations

  • More than 48 hours notice — Full credit or reschedule at no charge

  • 24–48 hours notice — 50% of the lesson fee is forfeited, or the lesson may be rescheduled once at no additional charge

  • Less than 24 hours notice — Full lesson fee is forfeited

  • No-shows — Full lesson fee is forfeited and no reschedule credit is issued

For clients on lesson packages, the same policy applies — a late cancellation or no-show counts as a used lesson.

Weather & Emergency Exceptions

Horses and weather go hand in hand. Cancellations due to severe weather, horse injury, or genuine emergencies will always be handled with grace — just reach out as soon as you know. These will never result in a forfeited lesson.

My Cancellations

If I need to cancel due to illness, injury, or an emergency on my end, you will never be charged and we will reschedule at your earliest convenience. If I cancel due to weather, the same applies — your lesson credit is fully preserved.

How to Cancel

Please cancel by text or phone call to 802-377-7736. Cancellations sent by text will receive a confirmation reply within a few hours.
