If the potential rider has a physical disability, CTRC is required to have a physical or occupational therapist present during the evaluation. Cancellations due to weather Time will be allowed at the end of each session to make up classes canceled by CTRC due to weather. If CTRC is unable to arrange make-up lessons, a written request to refund fees for those lessons must be made by the rider within 2 weeks of the end of the session. We will be unable to make-up classes canceled by riders, so please schedule ahead.
Initial evaluations vary in length depending upon the ability and needs of the rider.
Operating Guidelines Medical forms must be completed, signed, and in CTRC's files before a student may participate in lessons or an evaluation. An annual update of medical information is required. New individual students will need to have an evaluation by one of CTRC's Therapeutic Riding Instructors prior to riding. The purpose of this evaluation is to determine appropriate class placement and goals for the rider. If the rider has a physical disability, one of CTRC's physical or occupational therapists will be present to ensure that riding is both safe and beneficial for that rider.
