SCHOOL HORSE PROGRAM
Equestrian Option for Social Members
While Social Members do not have horse-boarding or independent riding privileges at BOH, they may participate in the School Horse Program to experience riding by adding the Equestrian Option to their membership. The process begins by completing a BOH Equestrian Option Form and submitting it to the BOH Administration Office. This Option is structured as follows: • After an initial trial period of six months or two three-month periods (which need not be consecutive), this option is available on an annual basis only. After the trial period(s), this Option is automatically renewed for an additional year unless discontinued by the member by notifying the BOH Administration Office in writing at which point costs assessed will be prorated per the notification date. • The cost of this Option can be paid on a quarterly or semi-annual basis and is $550, or $1,000 respectively. • Riding under this option is permitted up to 3 times per week, per family member on BOH school horses ONLY IN A SCHEDULED LESSON WITH A BOH TRAINER , depending upon school horse well-being and availability, arena time, and trainer schedules. • This option does not allow riding a horse other than a BOH school horse. If no suitable school horse is available, trainers may substitute a privately owned horse with the owners’ permission. In these cases, the school horse usage fee will still be charged. • For members who plan to be out of town for part of a month (or possibly longer), make- up rides are permitted provided there is ring-time and school horse availability, and prior notice is given to stable management and trainers to coordinate the make-up rides.
