What is the cost?
NOTRA works tirelessly at our fundraising so that we are able to provide our lessons at the substantially subsidized rate of $16.50 each, which includes your annual memberships to NOTRA and O'Keefe Ranch.
The actual cost to NOTRA to provide lessons is $60 each ... which some of our riders generously pay if they are able to.
*NOTRA's fundraisers subsidize more than two thirds of the cost to our riders which is why active participation in our fundraising efforts benefits you, the rider, by keeping the cost to a minimum.
