Cancellation Policy
Rowdy Ryder Academy is a one-woman show—every lesson, clinic, and event is personally scheduled, coached, and managed by me. Coordinating sessions, managing rosters, and preparing for each rider takes a great deal of time and behind-the-scenes effort. If you need to cancel your registration, the following policy applies: Cancellations made 7 or more days before your scheduled clinic/lesson date will receive a full refund minus a $10 processing fee, and are also eligible for rescheduling at a later date. Cancellations made within 7 days of the clinic/lesson, or if you are a “no-show,” are not eligible for a refund or rescheduling. Weather Policy: Due to Colorado’s unpredictable weather, decisions about weather-related cancellations will only be made the day of the clinic- 5 hours prior to evening clinics, and 2 hours prior to morning clinics. Skills sessions held at RRA will still run in light rain, as long as no active thunderstorms or lightning are nearby and trail conditions are acceptable, if used during that clinic. If unsafe conditions require a cancellation, you will be offered a reschedule or credit. I truly appreciate your understanding and respect for the time and energy that goes into making every Rowdy Ryder Academy experience an awesome one!
