Below is a review of our rates at Cedarhill Farm. We have just discovered that Brian hasn’t been charging the correct fees for some of our services that had a price increase last fall. We obviously aren’t going to go back to rectify this but note that going forward we will be applying the correct charges that have been listed on our website since September,2022.
We have simplified and made more economical the Treadmill Charges that all of our high performance horses should utilize for further conditioning to keep them sound and fit.
I also have provided a better explanation regarding “In House Training” and how and why we bill it.
Check out our “The Costs Involved” blog…
and “Suggested List for Horse Owners/Leasers”
Board: $1200 effective January 2022. Brian emails your barn bill by the first of the month and it is due by the 10th. Please note that there is an additional charge of $380 per month for in house training which includes lessons or schooling your horse. This charge is not carried forward.
In House training is either lessons or schooling performed by Cedarhill staff. Brian charges the in house training fee of $380 at the beginning of the month, ( lets say January) along with the board fee. During that month he then applies lessons ( private or group) and training that CFI staff does towards that advanced credit, which is why sometimes the lesson will be marked as “$0” . Once the prepayment dollar amount is met, then Brian charges the difference as it occurs and credits your bill the $380 towards lessons at the end of January, reflected in your February bill and then starts the process all over again. As tedious a process as this is, this is the simplest way to ensure that our Cedarhill boarders also are training with us, in one fashion or another and not just boarding with us.
