Good Evening Star Lodge Families,

As we come nearing the end of holidays it’s now time to start setting out our Term 2 lesson program.

Please message us if you are returning, your original spot is offer back to you.

We will be changing things up a little this Term in Winter , we will be offering some opportunities for students to share a lesson but ride for longer. So we can get most lessons done and beat the dark and cold.

So either a 30min private or a 40min shared lesson.

We do have 1 arena with lights but do understand when it’s cold most would like to be done earlier so they can rug up and be indoors.

We have quite a few students at an independent stage in their riding and this shared lesson is a fun opportunity to learn and build on their conformance skills with friends.

We do have quite a few new students that would like to join us so please send a message so we can do our best to accommodate everyone.

Please note we start back lessons week 2 of Term 2.

Thanks Olivia

Good morning Star Lodge Families,

As we are no longer in daylight savings time, we are going to bring back times and start lessons 15min earlier.
So lessons are now 3.30pm, 4pm , 4.30pm, 5pm, 5.30pm.
If you were 4.15pm , you are now 4pm

Coming into Term 2 we may group some children up together and make the lesson 10min longer so we can finish still in daylight.

Thank you
Olivia
