It's important to keep in mind that we'll be outdoors, with horses, so it's best to wear sturdy, fully enclosed footwear(not steel caps). 

Additionally, we recommend dressing appropriately for the weather, such as wearing a hat and sun cream on a sunny day, bringing a raincoat if it's raining (Dec-April), or a warm jacket if it's cold(May-Sep). Please get in touch if you don't have boots or a raincoat, as we may have some on hand. 

Lastly, please inform us if you have any allergies to animals, sand, grass, bees, or certain foods. We want to make sure you're comfortable and safe throughout the experience. 

Don't forget to bring a bottle of water to stay hydrated during the session. And be aware that you may get a bit dirty while participating in the horse-connected activities. 

We understand that sometimes an appointment needs to be cancelled or rescheduled. We ask for 48 hours notice if you need to cancel your session so that another participant can be offered that appointment time. 

Cancellations less than 48 hours before the time of your appointment incur a 50% cancellation fee.

Failure to attend an appointment without providing prior notice incurs a 100% cancellation fee. 

If a medical certificate can be provided within 48 hours after the missed appointment, which demonstrates your inability to attend due to ill health, we may, in our sole discretion, agree to waive all or part of your cancellation fee. Please call, text or email to cancel your appointment, it is ok to leave a voice message. 

Group sessions will require at least 7 days. 50% of the charges be retained for late cancellations.
