How much do you pay for your riding lessons?

I pay £18 for an hours group lesson. I get a discount as it's through uni. I think it's £22 if not. I'm in the south west :)
 
I paid £12.50, but alternated between £10 and £15 so I didn't have to faff with change.
It was an hour+ lesson, either a hack or jumping/schooling. I get them for free now I'm a livery though :D
 
Private instructor, mainly RWYM, £20 for an hour on my horse/various horses that I ride for other people. Riding schools around here cost approximately £35-£40 for a private hour the last time I checked.
 
Depends on who the instructor is and what they are teaching really. I have had one instructor who did a private hours lesson for £20 - he was good, but not great and he was a dressage rider and showjumper, no real speciality to be honest. Rode as a professional rider competing and exercinsing other peoples horses.

We have a very good eventer who comes to our yard, he charges £35 per private lesson and he does mostly jumping lessons. A young (ish) dressage rider who has trained with Carl Hester comes to our yard for dressage clinics and he charges £40 per hour. My next lesson will be another dressage clinic with a girl trained by Carl Hester who has her own string of dressage horses on her own yard and competes regularly from Advanced Medium upwards and is aiming at Grand Prix this year. She charges £35 per session.

Oh and I'm in the West Midlands BTW. I think between £30 and £40 is about the norm in the Midlands, if they are a pro. I wouldnt be paying that much though if they were not a pro or a very highly qualified trainer who was a pro in the past!
 
Forgot to add - those prices are for lessons on my horse, at the yard where he is kept.

If we are talking about riding schools, then my group lessons used to be (this was about 9 months ago before I started sharing) £20 per hour. Privates were a bit more expensive, cant remember though as I never had one!
 
At home in Kent - £40 for dressage trainer. Around 45 minutes 2 - 3 x a month.

SJ usually £20 at home; or £50 private at local eventer's yard, once a month.

Plus clinics ranging from £20 for gridwork to £60 for XC.
 
At the yard when I am on livery pay £30 for an hour, also occasionally go to a classical dressage instructor and pay £45 for 45 minutes. This is oxfordshire.
 
At home in the paddock or stubble field. I pay in cups of tea, biscuits and fresh eggs from my hens! My instructor is also best friend and she comes to put us back together every few months to get rid of bad habits.
 
I used to pay £15 an hour for a brilliant lesson with a good instructor in Somerset.
I have paid £45 for an awful lesson with a rubbish instructor in London :(
 
€150 for 10 50min lessons I travel to the yard all lessons are one on one. Thats about £13 a lesson bargain but then I live in rural France :)
 
I'm in Cambridgeshire and pay £27 for a 45 minute lesson with a fab instructor who comes to me. She has been teaching me and my husband for the last 12 years and has made horse owning much easier. I'd pay her double or triple if I had to; hope she doesn't read this!
 
I'm in Cambridgeshire. When I had lessons at a riding school I paid £25 for 30 minutes on my own. I now pay £42 for an hour with a brilliant instructor who comes to me. She has helped me so much and I would pay her more but like farcical1 I hope she doesn't read this!
 
I pay £40 a lesson (45 mins - an hour depending on how she goes) for my flat work lessons, the difference in my mare has been so huge since I started using my current trainer, and she is worth every penny.

I also have jumping lessons for which I pay £20 a lesson, only started these recently but really enjoying them, instructor is very positive and helpful and both me and my horse have a great time :-)

I just need to win the lottery now so I can have them more often
 
I pay £16 for an hour's group lesson or £38 for private at a RS, on RS horse.Think it's a bit less for own horse.I'm in Northern Ireland.
 
I'm in Cheshire and pay £20 for a half-hour private lesson (discounted by £5 because I go mid-afternoon mid-week), or £23 for an hour group lesson in the evening.
 
Currently I'm paying $75 Australian Dollars for an hour private lesson. Equivalent to about £50! This was the cheapest place I could find that wasn't over an hour away. Living in Sydney sucks for riding.
