Horse Riding Lessons

Here in upstate NY we get 55 per hour.30 for a group lesson with up to 5 other students.35 for half hour.These are basic lessons.Dressage,jumping etc mybe more. My 17 year old daughter now gives beginners lessons for the 3 neighborhood kids.She gets 20 each for her 3 students.Of course We are there to supervise.They spent alot of time on the ground ,learning anatomy,grooming etc.She gives them a good hour and they get to hang around the horses most evening also.They are only walk /trot .She babysits these kids and has had such a great time with them.They all did well with their 4H riding evals so I guess she is doing ok.I would not suggest you get the neighbor kid to teach you child though unless she has had extensive training and is certified to the level she is teaching.

I take and also teach lessons at a barn in North Carolina. One hour private is $50, half hour private $35. We have a few semi private ones, but I can't remember the prices for those. I find that I personally get a lot more from a private lesson, but I think it depends on the person. I would also be willing to do semi private or maybe small groups to save a buck or two. It also depends on the level of the rider.

I live in Minnesota and that's fairly comparable to what we pay here and in fact is a little less. A private lesson here is $35 for 1/2 hour. It can run into money but the it's worth every penny for the knowledge and enjoyment that will be gained from riding. It's an investment in a lifetime of good times and love!

I cannot ride the horse ,so I want to have horse riding lessons.
