FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing varies with the goals of the rider. For general lessons it is a fixed price of $50, when working away from my business I charge and additional $15 for a fuel fee, this includes grooming time before and after the lesson and the riding time. If the student is preparing for horse shows of some sort the fee becomes more adjustable, I also adjust it for students 6 and under because generally their attention span is shorter.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I ask questions and like to know if there are specific goals in mind or if the goals are generic. The more specific the goals the more tailored the lessons and instructions will be. The more info I have the better I can help my customers.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a 1983 graduate of William Woods University with a bachelor of science degree in equestrian science, I have had my own training and lesson business since 1989 and opened up Solomon Show Horses in 2011 prior to this it was Two Bar T Training Center. I train both people and horses and teach you what I teach your horse. Good training is not a secret and a good teacher teaches the student to be better than they are.
