Your instructor should have a qualification from the British Horse Society.
Here's a list of their qualifications:

Not everybody who is qualified to teach can actually teach and some brilliant teachers do not have any qualifications at all.
Ask yourself these questions
Do I look forward to my riding lessons?
Do I feel comfortable with my instructor and am I able to communicate with him/her?
Do I feel at ease, nervous or frightened on the horse?
Do you feel that your money is well spent?
Are you being taught horse management as well as riding techniques?
Do you wish your lesson would last longer?
I could go on and on but really only you know how you feel about your instructor and have to make the decision whether to stay with him/her.
If you feel comfortable and are learning then fine, if not then find some one else. Please remember when learning to ride you may reach a plateau and feel you cannot go further then all of a sudden things click.

Their is really no governing body that oversees this, the few who have "certifications" have their papers from dubious sources.
Many breed associations offer listings, as well as the United States dressage foundation. These are great places to start, but there is no official certification.
There is an insurance base association that certifies people who have been through their course, but from what I have seen from being a professional trainer for 30 years, their knowledge seems doubtful.
If you are concerned about your instructor, try a few others.
There is wisdom in an abundance of counselors.

thirteen is truly youthful. even once you've the horse adventure, i don't believe of it truly is honest to assume a thirteen year old to be to blame for a touch baby atop a one thousand pound animal, that is a disaster waiting to take position, and it truly is way too a lot rigidity for the you regardless of in case you do have a good time with it. What if between the little ones were to fall off for the period of a lesson? You AND the barn would get a good purchase more suitable flack then if their toddler fell off lower than the coaching of a 40 year old. EDIT: It would not sound like you're very open to concepts, which also shows that regardless of in case you're experienced, you're nevertheless an emotional thirteen year old. I have a hunch that you've lengthy previous by skill of and TD'd anybody who has reported that they does no longer provide help to teach. And for the record, i have not considered all and sundry factor out (myself blanketed) that that that they had fairly have an un-knowledgeable 30 year old teach their youthful little ones than you. So now you're making issues up and are not taking our suggestion. to boot, how could all of us recognize how good you're if we've not even considered you journey or artwork with horses? EDIT back: Whoops, my undesirable. i did not see Live2Ride's placed up. it truly is stupid. EDIT back back: Crap, i will't examine excellent. Yeah, i'd fairly my baby learn by using then you definitely a eco-friendly 30 year old. Sorry, lol, i favor sleep.

Ask them and also ask if you can see a copy of their certificates. There are brilliant instructors who are qualified through experience, rather than formal qualifications. Your question is so vague, that it is impossible to say for sure. If you have doubts, or think that you are not getting anything out of your lessons then change your instructor.

Considering we don't know who you are or who your instructor is, how should we know??
Ask them- there are a ton of different training registries. I am assuming you mean are they registered as a quality trainer. They are of good quality if you are learning things. Most trainers I know do not get certified, people just go to them because they respect how they train their horses and have successfully competed and mastered the level they want lessons in.
