How much do you or would you pay

[Eira]

Further to my last post , how much do you think its reasonable to pay ;
A) for a competent amatuer to school my horse ?
B) a professional to be asking ? no one majorly well known just a good instructor ?

opinions appreciated as haven't got a clue !! don't want to be ripped off or be to mean with my money !!

thanks !!

Well to give you an idea, I charge £20 for schooling, and that is usually an hour, bit more/less depending on the horse

Great !!

Thats the rough price i'd thought but then i was quoted between £15-£50 an hours so was rather confused

Ask not how much but how good?

 

[seabiscuit]

£20 an hour?! Wow ! That is what my dressage instructor charges and she has won at Prix St George level!

I'd say £20 to £40 for a professional, and £10-£15 for a competant amateur

No one has ever complained

edited to add - that does include petrol as I tend to travel about 30 minutes to each client

very good point , I see many a cold evening watching various people ride my horse before I find the right person !

Schooling by professional (eg BHSAI) cost £25 a hour at my yard

I would pay between £20 - £40 depending on how often & why I needed them to ride for me.

I wouldn't really be drawn by qualifications or how many wins at what level, you can get some really good riders who only ever ride youngster, they would be much better if it is for your 4yo mare, some one who competes and wins on a ready made horse for example might sound great but may not have a clue about a 4yro, if you get my drift.

I charge £15 per hour at the yard my own horse is at, would want £20 to go elsewhere. I did my AI 18 + years ago!

If you are paying them, are they an amateur
