BEFORE BOOKING

Please reach out to Reily or Abby directly with any technical or booking page concerns.

How the Booking Process Works (Start Here)

Step 1: Create a Profile

Every client must create a profile before booking.

Create one main account
Add a rider profile for each rider participating in lessons, camps, equi-sessions, or activities
Parents/guardians should add each child as a separate rider

Lessons and activities are booked per rider, not per account.

Step 2: Rider Grading (Required)

All riders must be graded before booking lessons.

Once a rider profile is created, please allow up to 24 hours for grading
Grading determines which lesson types and time slots a rider can safely access
Riders cannot book lessons until grading is complete

Step 3: Ready to Book

Once your rider profile has been graded, you’re officially cleared to book.

At this point:

Your rider will only see lesson types they are approved for
Available time slots will reflect current openings in the schedule
Some lessons may appear under specific categories (Private, Group, Lease, etc.)

If a lesson option or time does not appear, it means:

It is not appropriate for that rider’s current grade
The slot is already reserved
Or it is held for a lease or standing weekly rider

The system automatically updates as rider grades change, so additional options will open over time as riders progress.

If you are new to Apricus Equestrian:

New riders will initially see “Intro / Private Lesson” options only
Intro lessons are private and taught by Abby or Reily
These sessions allow us to evaluate experience, goals, and placement

After your intro lesson:

Your rider grade will be updated
Additional lesson options (group lessons, programs, etc.) will open automatically based on readiness

If you have ridden with us before but are new to the booking system:

Please create your profile and rider(s) as usual
Your rider grade will be applied or updated as needed
Once graded, you may book any lesson types available to your rider

If something looks incorrect or unavailable, please reach out before booking.

Lesson Options , based on rider grade and horse availability:

Private lessons
Mini Group/Group lessons
Lease Lessons

Not all riders will see all lesson types.

Tokens/Packages

Lessons can be booked using lesson tokens
Tokens are applied at checkout when applicable

Lease riders are enrolled in a subscription/membership tied to their lease agreement.

Lesson Details

Lessons appear under the “Lease Lessons” category
Lesson times are reserved and not available to other riders
Only assigned riders can see and book these times
Lessons are tied to the rider, horse, and standing weekly schedule

Booking & Payments

Lease riders are billed through a subscription, split into two payments per the lease agreement
Lesson tokens/packages are included with the subscription
Lessons must still be booked in the system to hold the time

Missed or Canceled Lessons

If an assigned lease lesson is missed or canceled within the appropriate cancellation period, a single lesson token may be issued for a makeup lesson
Makeup lessons are subject to availability

Riders who own their horse do not have a lease subscription but receive discounts tied to their rider profile.

Lesson Details

Discounts apply to lesson packages and training subscriptions
Lessons and training sessions still need to be booked through the system
Training & Lesson packages are available under the subscriptions tab
Regular lessons booked through the calendar

Regular weekly bookings are encouraged to secure preferred times and maintain consistent progress.

Riders with a child enrolled in 4-H receive a special 4-H discount profile applied to their eligible lessons 🍀

Our token system allows riders to purchase lessons upfront at a discounted rate. In the EcPro system, individual lessons are called “tokens”, and bundles of lessons are called “token packages.”

Token Packages

4-token packages – for 1 or 2 rides per week
8-token packages – for 1 or 2 rides per week

4-H riders may purchase one token per rider at a discounted monthly rate through the token section.

Important: Tokens expire 30 days from the date of purchase, so make sure to schedule your lessons within that timeframe.

Purchasing token packages is a convenient way to save on lessons while securing your spot in our schedule.
