If Horse SenseAbility cancels, all reasonable attempts will be made to notify you in a timely manner. In the case of such a cancellation, we will schedule a make-up lesson.

If the weather is inclement, Horse SenseAbility will conduct an unmounted session instead of riding if possible. If the Dover-Sherborn Public Schools cancel or delay due to weather, we will offer a refund.
FAQs
How do I request financial support?
We recognize the many financial challenges faced by our participants and their families. As a small non-profit organization, limited availability of grants and other funding make it impossible to honor all the requests we receive for financial assistance. We sincerely hope that applications for financial assistance will be made only after careful consideration of your needs. All decisions regarding financial assistance are made by the Board of Directors of Horse SenseAbility. If you would like to apply for financial assistance, please email our Executive Director for a link to the form.
Do you offer recreational riding lessons?
Traditional recreational riding lessons are available on a limited basis for family members of current participants. For more information about schedules, rates and fees, please contact us.
Do you bill insurance companies?
Horse SenseAbility does not bill insurance companies. However, we will gladly provide a receipt for therapeutic riding and horsemanship lessons that you can submit for reimbursement to your insurance company.
