    Purchased 4 1-hour horseback riding lessons that never expire according to the owner. Through an ad on ********. Paid $135 on Jan. 18, 2022 ... Apparently when I went to book these lessons this spring, she has gone out of business and she's not answering any communication and her phone number is disconnected.

    - Date of transaction: December 16th, 2021 - Paid $198 through E-Transfer for 2x special offer horse riding package. Advertised on Facebook.   - Business committed to provide 2x 3 Horse Riding Lesson - Nature of dispute: booking the horse lessons has been extremely challenging. Owner failed to reply our emails many times and keep saying that the lessons were booked for many months but without allowing us to book an actual date. After managing to book the first lesson (March 12, 2022) when we showed up for it, there wasn't an helmet for my size (size XL/60) and we had to cancel/reschedule. When trying to reschedule via email (owner not present at facility when we had the helmet issue) the owner give us again trouble on committing on a specific date again, and start writing/acting unprofessionally claiming we lost the right of a horse lesson because I wanted to ride without an helmet. That wasn't the case. Now, asking for a refund, she are denying us the money back for no reason and no refund policy is present on the business website/purchase. Now the owner want to just speak on the phone on the matter but we would prefer email conversation to keep paper trail of language and word used. We would like to get a refund. Thank you in advance for your help.
