CANCELLATION/REFUND POLICY:

No refunds are given if a participant is unable to attend due to ill health or declines to attend all or part of the holiday program. We do ask for your assistance with this as we try and keep the groups very small for the benefit of the riders but we are a very small business so cannot provide the options of a large Centre.

Cash is the preferred payment method.

Hi everyone and welcome to the community of YRS.

Safety for both humans and equines is our priority and then to provide a nurturing enjoyable learning experience for all participants and their families.

We aim to achieve the following:

DEPOSITS: All activities require $100.00 deposit at time of booking. Payment in full prior to commencing the holiday program is requested. Please chat with me if you require a different arrangement.

HELMETS: All riders must wear helmets when mounted. Regular riders must provide their own helmets. Horseland in Fyshwick or Hiscocks in Queanbeyan are probably the best and quickest options. I strongly recommend making the trip to the store with the riders to buy the helmet – make sure their hair is as it will be when they are riding and no plaits or pony tails under the helmet - different shaped heads require different shaped helmets and chin straps must be comfortable.

BOOTS: Riders must have solid footwear with a smooth sole and a heel. folks just starting riding will begin their riding bareback then progress onto a saddle. A condition of riding at YRS is that all riders with stirrups have safety stirrups (toe stoppers or their equivalent) so riding boots as such are not required BUT the shoes must be strong enough to protect those little toes (and parent toes as well) folks with thongs on will not be allowed in the stable yard or around the horses.

RIDING UNDER SUPERVISION: For the safety of everyone, please be advised that no rider will mount before an instructor is present. All horses and ponies will be led from the stables to the riding arenas.

ELECTRIC FENCING: Please be aware that we use electric fencing at YRS. Please check before touching.

HORSES: For safety and bio-security reasons participants will be asked not touch any horse not involved in the holiday programme.
