TerryAllen Farms’ Program
TerryAllen Farms’ will be offering a riding program through the Town of Plymouth Recreation
Department. The focus will be on developing an interest in horsemanship and riding for the beginner students. If the student has previous experience, then the work will focus towards sharpening skills and developing current knowledge.
Come join us for great fun with friends…both human and equine. You can register by filling out the application, medical release, release of liability and making payment in full. Openings are on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Payments are not refundable unless with written verification of a physician of injury or illness.
Any students breaking Farm rules, including the possession or use of alcoholic beverages, illegal drugs, or weapons, will be dismissed from the program immediately with no refund. A student who exhibits emotional, psychological, or behavioral conditions, which are disruptive to the program or harmful to her/him or others, will be dismissed with no refund at the discretion of the instructor/owners.
