The Client and Weeping Willow Miniatures, LLC agree as follows:

1.The Services.

Weeping Willow Miniatures, LLC will provide client with access to one horsemanship lesson per week, and one unmounted group horsemanship class per month (see Section 4.B.). The weekly horsemanship lessons will either be a 30 minute private or 1 hour group of 3 or more. Weeping Willow Miniatures, LLC will be closed up to 6 weeks per year to give the lesson horses a break, allow students to compete at horse shows and not to miss lessons, to run special events, and even to give riding instructors a break. The weeks that are off will be communicated via the clients only facebook group and text.
Clients will be grouped together with a group of 3 or more. We will attempt to group riders together with those of similar ability and level if scheduling allows.
Clients will start with a 30 minute private lesson. As the rider progresses and gains confidence and competence, the master instructor will determine when it's appropriate to transition to semi-private or group lessons. This decision is typically based on the rider's ability to handle the dynamics of a larger class setting while still receiving valuable feedback and instruction.
Clients may schedule a 30 minute goal setting session as needed. This will help us be able to tailor your lessons towards your desires better.

2. Student Requirements.

Student agrees to follow all Barn Rules as follow:

Courtesy is expected and manners are required. Help us make the farm a fun, friendly and supportive environment for all! Be nice to others, both people and horses, NO exceptions.
All riders or persons on the property must sign a release before riding and/or interacting with any horse in any way. Students/Student’s parent(s)/guardian(s) are responsible for having all guests sign releases when they arrive on the property. Liability releases are available in the tack room or you can see me, Catherine Talbert.
Client must be wearing proper riding attire- boots with heels, an ASTM/ SEI certified riding helmet, and long pants. No high ponytails or hairstyles that will affect your helmet fit!
Client must be coachable, positive, and have a good attitude!
Client and their guests agree there will be no cussing, swearing, or taking God’s name in vain while on the property or when affiliated with Weeping Willow Miniatures, LLC at events.
Client and their guests will not smoke or bring alcohol onto the property.
Client and their guests will not bring personal pets without prior permission.
Client and their guests agree to not chase the chickens and to prevent their children from doing so.
Client will clean and sweep the crosstie mats at the end of your lesson.
Absolutely no bullying, gossiping, or unkind behavior (to people or animals)
An ASTM-SEI certified helmet must be worn at ALL times when mounted on a horse. No exceptions.
Children must be supervised by an adult at all times.
Appropriate footwear MUST be worn around horses and when handling them, no sandals or flip flops in the barn. NO exceptions.
NO jumping outside of a lesson unless approved by trainer.
Treats may only be given with prior permission.
Clean up after your horse and yourself. There are trash containers, shovels, brooms and muck buckets available for the disposal of manure, shredded hair, hoof cleanings.
If you don’t do it at home….don’t do it at the barn. Common sense and courtesy at all times!

3. Tuition.

Our monthly tuition price is based on the annual value. Client will put a credit or debit card on file, and it will be automatically charged $__216__tuition per month-if client owns or leases their own horse. If client does not own or lease their own horse- they can get access to our lesson horse pool for an additional $__100__ per month. Charges will begin on the first day of enrollment and continue every month thereafter. If client needs to change the credit card on file, please call 865-424-6858 and leave the new credit card number, expiration date, and CVC on the voicemail.

Students will be considered to be automatically re-enrolled in our membership program each month. If a student wishes to cancel their agreement with us, we will need TWO BILLING CYCLES (60 days) prior notice in writing. For example, Student pays July 1st and gives notice in writing on July 12th they will be canceling their membership. They will be enrolled through two more billing cycles and their membership will officially end on Oct 1st. We have obscene expenses and financial commitments to be able to offer this program- and we depend on students who can make some commitment- as well as give us plenty of notice if they are quitting so that we have time to pull students in from the waiting list to take their place.

4. Scheduling.

Client will receive a dedicated time and a day of the week where there will be an appropriate school horse and with a group of riders with similar ability reserved each week as scheduling allows. Please remember that Weeping Willow Miniatures, LLC will be closed up to 6 weeks per year.

If client cannot make their time during a week- Weeping Willow Miniatures, LLC will allow a maximum of one makeup lesson per month- provided that client cancels by texting 865-621-0073 at least twenty four hours prior to the lesson. All makeup lessons will take place two times per month and will be communicated via text and the client Facebook group. If a lesson is not made up within 30 days it will expire. Monthly tuition is still due in full when the student misses their lessons. In the event that the weather prevents riding- unmounted horsemanship lessons will be substituted. In the event that weather prevents the barn from being open- video analysis of your riding will be done via zoom at your regular riding time. The best way to get the most value out of the program is to make it a priority and a commitment not to miss your dedicated lesson time(s).
If client would like to make a long-term change to their dedicated lesson time, they may do so a maximum of 1 time in a 90 day period by calling or texting 865-424-6858 and leaving a voicemail.

5. Cancellation. If a Client wishes to cancel this agreement they MUST give us 60-days (two billing cycles) notice in writing. They will be automatically enrolled through two more billing cycles (60-days) before their membership ends. For first time students, this agreement may be canceled within one week of signing this agreement and incur an early cancellation fee of $350. After one week, clients will be enrolled through the end of TWO more billing cycles. Clients will be continually re-enrolled at their current upfront/monthly rate until Weeping Willow Miniatures, LLC is contacted via email or text message (weepingwillowminisllc@yahoo.com; 865-424-6858) and the payment plan is updated. The monthly calendar is upon request.

8. No Guarantee. Stable does not warrant or guarantee any specific level of performance or results. The results of your riding program are largely based on the Student’s efforts.

9. Communications. Student agrees to communicate all scheduling changes or any other concerns about the program by texting 865-424-6858 by email to weepingwillowminisllc@yahoo.com. All non-emergency communications shall be between 8am and 8pm Monday to Friday.

10.Risk Acknowledgement and Assumption of Risk/Release

I acknowledge the risks and potential for risks of horseback riding and activities in and around a facility where horses are kept and farm machinery operated. However, I feel that the possible benefits to me/my son/my daughter/my ward are greater than the risk assumed. Intending legally to bind myself, my heirs, and assigns, executors or administrators, I hereby waive and release forever all claims for loss or damages of any kind against Weeping Willow Miniatures, LLC and Catherine Talbert for any and all injuries and losses that I/my son/my daughter/my ward may sustain while participating. This release includes without limitation the risk of negligent instruction and supervision. I engage in activities at 8340 Faranda Way, Knoxville, TN 37931 voluntarily with knowledge of the risks and I assume all risks of injury, death, and property damage that may result. I agree to bear any loss myself. I acknowledge that Weeping Willow Miniatures, LLC and Catherine Talbert are materially relying on this waiver and assumption of risk in allowing me/my son/my daughter/my ward to participate in activities at 8340 Faranda Way, Knoxville, TN 37931.

Weeping Willow Miniatures, LLC offers instructional programs designed to teach children and adults skills in basic horsemanship practices and canine training. All of the programs offered through the farm involve riding or other interaction with horses and/or dogs, other students/clients, and instructional staff. By its very nature, participation in the programs involves risk of injury and even death. The safety and well-being of all participants is of the utmost concern and the instructional staff is experienced and skilled at handling horses, dogs, and students. With that said, horses and dogs can be unpredictable and we therefore require the execution of this Accident Waiver and Release of Liability in order for you and/or your child to participate in any of the lessons, camps, or programs offered through Weeping Willow Miniatures, LLC.

The undersigned participant or parent/guardian hereby expressly states that he/she has consented to participation in the programs offered by Weeping Willow Miniatures, LLC, and releases its owners, directors, employees, and volunteers from any and all liability, including but not limited to injury or death of the person participating in the program.

The student, or parent/guardian if the student is under 18 years of age, individually warrants and promises not to sue the released parties for any damages incurred through or related to participation in the programs. In the event such parties are sued, the student and parent/guardian agree to indemnify and hold harmless the released parties from all claims and damages including legal costs and attorney’s fees to such lawsuits.

Warning-Under Tennessee law, an equine professional is not liable for an injury to or death of a participant in equine activities resulting from the inherent risks of equine activities, pursuant to the Tennessee Code Annotate, title 44, chapter 20.
