How much do you pay for your lessons?

Depends on instructor. Our YO is an excellent dressage coach and charges £25 for 45 mins, which is long enough! Otherwise, £35 for 45 mins with visiting instructor, but have paid up to £75 for 45mins on occasions.
 
Well Mrs Bryer who I go to every week will refuse to take more than £10 even if the lesson ends up being twice as long (supposed to be an hour) then the instructor I go to in the village charges £25 per hour
 
One regular instructor is £20 a session, the other is £40 for 45ins. Riding club shared lessons are always less than £20.
 
Dressage trainer - £25 for about 45 mins

Jump trainer - £30 if at his yard, £35 if he comes to us

Lessons last as long as they last - if he is really good and tries really hard then the lesson may end after 30 mins - if he needs more then it may be longer.

At a riding school, £20 group 1 hour. No more than six people. Or £23 semi private, me and hubby 45 mins. Excellent instructors.
 
Flat instructor is £35, based on an hour. If its finished quicker she always knocks something off (reminds me I must buy her some wine)
Jump is £37.50 for 30 mins. I normally try and end it after 20 as its the last ten mins that he gets evil :biggrin3:
 
I pay £29 for an hour group lesson at a RS as an adult and I pay £26 for my daughter for the same. sometimes only the two of us turn up so we have a semi-private lesson but they only charge me the same amount :-)
 
I must be a luck girl, my instructor come to my yard and charges £15 per hour. She is fab and if I have child minding issues she will get him in and ride or lunge him without me. My boy has come on sooo much with her and we are now friends. xx
 
The instructor that comes to the yard is £12/hour for clinic, £15 for private 30-45 minutes which I think is pretty good value considering his experience and qualifications!
 
My trainer is £15 an hour, at our yard. And she is fab!!!

Others in the area average £30 an hour, and go up from there.

£10 for a lesson with yo for 30 mins, £37 with one visiting instructor for 45mins and £20 with another for 40 mins, it depends who comes to our yard to who i have one with!
 
£25 for 45 mins with a local eventer/RI who travels to my yard.

He's very good though and gives me a 30 min lesson for £20 which he doesn't normally do, as I've got a youngster.
 
£35 for an hour, but like others, the lesson finishes when it finishes. There is no extra charge if we over-run.

Fab classical dressage instructor that has helped me see the light!
 
Lesson at yard £0 and it takes as long as it takes (even when my instructor has to go collect take away when my mare was particually difficult and planted on evening), lesson through riding club £10, £15 or £20 for an hour depending on instructor
 
£20 an hour for flatwork instructor to come to yard (with an extra £5 for fuel if it's just me, if she's got 2 hours teaching she waives it) £35 for 45 mins for jumping - I go to instructor's yard and £10 an hour for Riding Club group lesson.
 
£20 for no more than 45 mins as we are both knackered by then! That is for flat work or jumping. Instructor comes to my yard which is about 7 miles away for her so quite the bargain considering. We end at an appropriate time and always on a good note so if we have had a good and progressive 30 mins we'll end then and so be it!
