Do you have any rescue centers in your area. A friend of mine rescues horses, and I volunteer there. You "earn" riding time by volunteering. If you show you're committed to the care of the horses, you've earned the right to ride (keep in mind this takes a little time). She knows her horses very well and knows which horse is best with which person. You'll learn how to saddle and tack a horse, groom, and even train a horse. She'll even coach you while your riding until your ready to hit the trail on your own. It's hard work but it's worth it. If you do find a rescue facility in your area, ask if they will allow you to ride in exchange for volunteer work.

Hi. Well, I've never had a riding lesson, BUT I used to look after a girl who did, and during her 1hr lesson she'd mainly just ride, as there was no time for much else. However, her riding school offered day courses during the school holidays which included everything from cleaning out the horse boxes, to grooming the horses, learning to saddle a horse properly and feeding them.If you are not that interested in the riding part, maybe you could get a job helping to look after the horses at the weekends and during holidays?

It depends on the area you are in and the discipline that you want to ride. The more riders of a discipline that are in the area the cheaper the lessons are going to be. I personally charge $20 per lesson,and I know that other trainers in my area charge $30-$50 per lesson.

hun... let me say ive had horses for 3 or 4 years and all you need is someone close to you to help you in the sitting positions and everything... i would never pay to have crap crammed into my head... i am the type of person who likes to learn by myself... and you would much rather just learn by yourself... its easier than it looks trust me... just go by steps... like
1st- walking... work on that for a couple weeks or days depending on how well you catch on...
2nd- troting- same as #1
3rd- cantering- same as #2
and just so you know troting is like a human jog but at a horses pace... and cantering is like a human run but like i already said at a horses pace... faster... you would be better off learning by yourself its funner and cheaper... you dont have someone yelling at you telling you what you've done wrong.. you know? just less stressful....
hope i helped....

That sounds cool, and the price is not bad, I say go for it.
