Monthly payment plans are available.

 

Enrollment Process: The safety of the students and horses are paramount at HOPE. Our enrollment process is thorough. We make every effort to accept students into our program as quickly as possible. The enrollment process includes:

​

1. Registration: Complete and submit the Registration Form and Scholarship Application if you are requesting additional coverage.

2. New Participant Assessment: Once the forms have been reviewed you will be scheduled for a phone Assessment. All participants receive an Individual Development Plan (IDP) detailing goals for you or your child's time at HOPE. During the assessment we will discuss the participants health history, background, strengths/weakness and goals.  This allows us to create the participant IDP and place the participant in the class that aligns best for their abilities and goals.  

3. Enrollment: The participant will then be enrolled for the next available agreed upon session. Additional information will be discussed during enrollment. Classes may be individual or in small groups.

4. Learn, Ride, Lead! The participant will attend a 1.5 hour weekly session for 7 weeks for each term of enrollment. Sessions are the same day and time each week unless otherwise stated for a specific program.
