Lesson Program
Leg Up Equestrian offers horseback riding lessons throughout the year. Our school calendar follows a traditional 13 week college 'Quarter' class schedule: Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer class QTRs.
Leg Up's school year begins with the Fall QTR each year and runs through the last day of Summer QTR the following year. Each Leg Up class Quarter consists of 10 scheduled lessons with a built-in FREE make-up week for missed lessons. Our Leg Up Semester enrollment = 2 Leg Up QTRs (20 scheduled lessons). Make-ups need to be completed in the same class QTR missed.

Semester Enrollment & Billing - Policy
Class Term: The Leg Up School year starts with the Fall Quarter and ends on the last day of the Summer Quarter the following year. Both new and returning students begin a new semester enrollment term each Fall Quarter and must continue for at least two consecutive quarters, which includes 20 scheduled lessons plus 2 free make-up lessons. Students who start after the Fall Quarter begins will be pro-rated into the school year to ensure they receive a minimum of 20 scheduled lessons.
Payments & Billing: Students must have an active payment method on file for billing. Tuition for the full semester term is billed upfront and paid in monthly installments. Payments are auto-billed via ACH or credit card on the 10th of each month in advance. A fee of $25 applies for late, declined, or missed payments.
Enrollment Continuation: Students enrolled in the Leg Up Lesson Program who have completed their semester enrollment can continue with monthly billing at the same rate for the remainder of the current school year after their semester ends.
Enrollment Cancellation: Students may cancel enrollment anytime after completing the semester term (20 scheduled lessons) with 30 days written or email notice, which must be given at least 3 scheduled class weeks in advance. Leg Up will pro-rate billing at the single lesson rate ($65 per class) for the last 3 classes from the date of cancellation.
Early Termination fee: $250.00 Students enrolled in the Semester Program are committed to an initial 6-month term, which includes a minimum of 20 scheduled lessons. If a student cancels before the end of this term, an early termination fee of $250 will be assessed.
Class Policies and Make-ups
Leg Up offers a free built-in make-up week at the end of each quarter. Students who miss their class can make it up during the scheduled make-up week (same class day and time) at no additional charge. To be eligible for a free make-up, class cancellations require a minimum of 24 hours’ notice. Make-ups are limited to one class per quarter and must be completed in the same quarter the class was missed.
extra makeups:
Each student is entitled to one free makeup per class quarter, scheduled during the class makeup week at the end of the quarter. Make-ups do not carry over to the next quarter. Additional makeups can be scheduled if possible.
- missed class > 24 hrs. notice = $10 rescheduling fee.
- missed class < 24 hrs. notice = $20 rescheduling fee.
rainy day policy: Come to class!
rainy day policy: Come to class! Always assume that scheduled classes will take place. In the rare event of cancellation due to unsafe conditions, we will notify you. If riding is not possible, we will hold a structured Barn Class with unmounted lessons from our Leg Up Levels of Achievement curriculum. These classes are essential for progressing in our program. Please do not miss class due to inclement weather!
dress coode: Leg Up students are expected to come to class dressed appropriately in riding attire. Long pants are required, with English riding breeches mandatory for Level 2 and higher. Sturdy shoes are necessary, with English style paddock/riding boots recommended and required for Level 3 and higher. Students should wear their Leg Up school t-shirts (weather permitting) or Leg Up school sweatshirts (optional) in cooler weather.
Summer QTR Flex Scheduling: Secure Your Spot!
At Leg Up, we recognize the significance of family travel and summer activities. To accommodate this, we offer flexible scheduling during the Summer Quarter. Here’s how it works:
-
Continuity of Enrollment: Students can continue in the same class throughout the Summer Quarter and seamlessly transition into the next School Year Term (which begins in the Fall Quarter).
-
Priority Placement: Students who sign up for either Summer Flex or ongoing classes receive priority placement for the following school year term, starting in the Fall Quarter.
-
Forfeiture of Spot: Students who are not enrolled forfeit their spot. They may be placed back on the waitlist or assigned to an alternate class if available.
-
Advance Notice: If you have family travel plans, simply inform us at the start of the Summer Quarter. We’ll work with you to schedule any planned missed classes.
Summer FLEX scheduling: we're here to help!
All classes must be prescheduled at the start of Summer QTR Term. Need to make an adjustment during the Summer- just let us know at least 7 days in advance (no fee). We'll do our best to work with you planned missed classes:
- FREE class changes >7 days in advance
- missed class > 24 hrs. notice = $10 rescheduling fee.
- missed class < 24 hrs. notice = $20 rescheduling fee.
