Hopefully this will be the last time we have to move this horse show! With all the snow on the ground and now the mud that has followed, Mane Top and our fellow competitors in the area have not been able to do much riding. We have made the decision to move the show in hopes that more people will be prepared to show!

For those of you interested in our Winter Festival for something other than riding in the show, we hope we will still see you all for pony rides, hay rides, crafts, and much more on Saturday, April 3rd!

Thanks again to our show title sponsor!

Mane Top Stables promotes proper horsemanship through the education of horse health, care, and safety. We produce
confident, independent, responsible riders with correct technique and good feel.

2010 is looking like a fantastic year.   We have been very lucky to have a surviving and growing business in these hard economic times.  We cannot thank our costumers enough, Thank you!  We are striving to make the experience as enjoyable and informational as possible.  Due to the increased demand in student numbers, a few changes will take place starting March 1, 2010.

We will be changing to a monthly membership. Basically moving from 6 lesson packages to 4 payments that will be due the first lesson of every month.  The months that offer 5 weeks for certain days will be offered to boarders at the discounted monthly price or to non-boarders at the individual lesson price.  Cancellation is required 24hrs in advance in order to make up your lesson.  Of course, in emergency situations we will try to be as accommodating as possible.  Kristen will be offering make-ups mostly Thursday and Sunday and Codi will be offering make-ups on Wednesday and Sunday.  If the cancellation is due to weather or Mane Top, you will be guaranteed a makeup without restriction and in extreme prolonged periods (unpredictable circumstances) a discount on the following month’s membership fee will be applied.  Please call if you have any questions or concerns.

The new prices are as follows:

1 private lesson: $55             

1 group lesson: $45

1 pony ride: $35

1 private lesson once a week (4 lessons for month): $210

2 private lessons a week (8 lessons for month): $410

1 group lesson once a week (4 lessons for month): $170

2 group lessons a week (8 lessons for month): $330

1 pony ride a week (4 lessons for month): $130

2 pony rides a week (8 lessons for month): $250

We value your business and deeply appreciate your support. Thank you Thank you!

**If your package is up before March 1st you may pay $29/group or $39/private per lesson until the end of the month or if you have lessons left over, you will be credited $29 or $39 for each remaining lesson toward your membership.
