As part of the Adaptive Riding Program Please Answer the following:
TROT has an implemented policy which allows up to three cancellations in any program year (July 1 – June 30) for reasons beyond our control such as weather, staff illnesses, horse unavailability, etc. without providing make-up sessions. This provides TROT with the opportunity to keep the overall cost down as cancellations incur additional obligations overextending our limited resources. Celebration of Achievement counts as a makeup lesson for all riders, except for our Saturday participants.
Did you experience that we followed our guidelines on cancellations?
(Required)
Yes, the policy was followed.
No, the policy as you have stated was not followed.
If you had the possibility of a makeup class and chose not to, we would love to understand why in order to review our make-up classes.
Examples may be - disruption in schedule, travel needs, caregiver assistance, not the same staff/volunteers etc
