This Page is for riders that have completed their Consultation Lesson

Congratulations on completing your consultation lessons! We’re thrilled to officially welcome you into our riding family. At Central Oregon Riding Academy (CORA), our goal is to help you grow not just as a rider, but as a confident, capable horseman — developing leadership, awareness, and connection both in and out of the saddle.

CORA is more than just riding lessons — it’s a structured training environment designed for dedicated students who are ready to commit to steady progress and consistent practice.

To build strong, effective riders and lasting partnerships with horses, consistency is key. For this reason, CORA now offers lessons to students who are committed to:

• Two lessons per week, focusing on continued growth and structured instruction.
   
• Two independent practice rides per week, reinforcing what is taught in lessons.
   

This combination of instruction and independent practice is what creates measurable progress, confidence, and the feel every good horseman strives for. Riders who show dedication, consistency, and respect for their learning process will experience the most success in this program.

To provide a fair and organized schedule for all riders, we’ve implemented the following structure:

Tier 1 – Priority Scheduling:

• Students who pay by the 1st of each month receive first choice of lesson days and times.
   
• Within Tier 1, students riding twice per week will select before those riding once per week.
   

Tier 2 – Secondary Scheduling:

• Students who pay after the 1st will choose from any remaining available time slots.
   
• Payment must be made by the 5th to confirm lessons; after that, unconfirmed slots will be released.
   

⚠️ Due to high demand, lessons are reserved only for students who maintain consistent payment and attendance.
 

We understand that life happens, but lesson consistency is key to your progress.

• 48 Hours’ Notice: Cancel or reschedule with no penalty if done at least 48 hours in advance.
   
• 24–48 Hours’ Notice: You may reschedule within the same week if availability allows.
   
• Less Than 24 Hours: The full lesson fee will be charged, and rescheduling will not be offered.
   

Repeated cancellations or no-shows may result in loss of scheduling priority or program placement review.

Each lesson builds intentionally on your previous rides. You’ll receive guidance in:

• Riding mechanics, feel, and balance
   
• Horsemanship and groundwork fundamentals
   
• Confidence, communication, and leadership
   
• Applying what you’ve learned during your independent practice rides
   

CORA students are encouraged to take ownership of their progress — learning not just to ride, but to understand the “why” behind every cue, response, and decision.

We love seeing our riders grow and celebrate each milestone!

  Thank you for choosing Central Oregon Riding Academy, where growth, dedication, and horsemanship come together to create true riders.
