Please keep the following rules in
mind when visiting Mill Creek:
- STUDENT HOURS: Tuesday through Thursday, 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.,
Friday through Sunday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Closed Monday.
- FOOTWEAR: All students must wear appropriate footwear at all times
while working around and riding horses. Appropriate footwear is a
hard-soled shoe with a heel. Absolutely, no tennis shoes.
- HELMETS: All students must wear a riding helmet at all times when
mounted. Mill Creek recommends all riders purchase and wear a riding
helmet with a full harness and chin strap and a vest for jumping.
- LESSON CANCELLATIONS: Students (or parents) are financially
responsible for all lessons not canceled before 12 o’clock noon the
day PRIOR to the scheduled lesson. Cancellations must be given to the
office, NOT the instructor. Cancellations called in using
cell phones are often unclear, so please follow up or call from a land
line. NOTE: Cancellations by e-mail must be
made a week in advance!!
- PAYMENT: Mill Creek accepts checks or cash for lessons. Cash or
checks made payable to Mill Creek should be given to the instructor at
the start of each class. If students wish to pay for their lessons in
advance, accounts can be opened in the office with a minimum deposit
of $100.00.
- RETURNED CHECKS: There is a $20.00 charge for any returned check.
- TELEPHONE: There is a pay phone available in the big barn.
- PARKING: Please, Please drive in and out very slowly. There are
often children and animals in the driveway. Do not park in front of
walkways or corral gates.
- CHILDREN: Supervision of children on Mill Creek premises is the
responsibility of the parent or a supervisor appointed by them. Mill
Creek employees supervise your children only during a scheduled
lesson. If a minor is being “dropped off” for a lesson, please pick
them up at Mill Creek when the lesson ends.
- GROUP & PRIVATE LESSONS: Please schedule with the office each
group and private lesson you wish to attend at least 24 hours prior to
the lesson to see if there may be a horse available. We prefer to have
a monthly lesson schedule submitted in writing. Schedules are
available on the 15th of each month for the following month both on
our website and at the office.
- RUNNING OR SCREAMING: No Running or Screaming in or around the
stable areas.
- JUMPING: No one is allowed to jump without an instructor.
- PETS: Dogs are allowing ONLY in our dog park area on the right
hand side when you drive in our driveway. Dogs must always be on
a leash in the parking lot and never in the barn or arena areas.
Only quiet, non-aggressive dogs are allowed in the dog park. If your
dog barks excessively when left alone, please leave him or her at
home.
- FEEDING HORSES: Please do not feed the horses. Even the best
horses sometimes bite.
- RAIN: In the event of rain, call the office as near to your lesson
time as possible on the day of your lesson to find out if we are
planning to teach. (It may be raining at your house and not at Mill
Creek.)
- NO SMOKING in and around the barn areas, shavings or hay.
