How much does a lesson cost these days?

[soloequestrian]

On my own horse, at home - how much do people pay?

Thanks!

probably around £20 an hour average, but completely depends who your instructor is, mine charges £12.50 for half hour, £15 for 45 mins and £20 an hour

Average around here seems to be about £30 for a decent instructor. Don't get confused thinking more expensive=better, I know an instructor who is £1/min and is absolutely awful!

 

[Theocat]

£20 a throw - depending on what we're doing and how the lesson goes it's been anything from 40 minutes - 75 minutes

I think I get a bargain!

My BHSAI only charges £10 for half hour - bargin! I know a lot charge around £40 for 45 mins round here.

I'm a BHSAI and I have evented upto BE Intermediate level. I charge £20 per hour (which sometimes can be slightly under or over depending on how horse and rider are going). I charge travel if I have to drive more than 5 miles. Having said that you can spend alot more if you want. I know of people who charge £75 for 45 minutes! And as said above, just because you pay top wack doesn't mean they are brilliant, or that you will get on with them!

around 30 for 45mins... luckily i dont have to have them very often as my mum is an II but we get second opinions as my mum sometimes sees things through rose tinted glasses and im more inclined to argue with her than i am with someone i dont know very well

I work freelance and I charge £20 an hour for a private lesson and £15 each for a shared lesson, £10 each for three people sharing (which is my maximum) ... I teach mostly private lessons however, This is reasonable for our area.

I pay £20 for 30-45 minutes with my instructor

I pay £30 per half hr for my dressage instructor but he does ride PSG etc but he pays 100 euros when he goes back to Germany for lessons as it is with the like of the schoekemoles etc.

I pay £15 for mine. As to how long it lasts - depends on what we are doing. It can be anything from 20 minutes to 50 minutes. Instructor is on site too, which is helpful.

Compared to other instructors I have had this is comparatively cheap. I paid £30 for my last instructor for 45 minutes.

FBHS charges £45 for 45 mins as a result I don't see him very often but I do feel he is worth it.

 

[thehorsediva]

I pay £25 per hour for my instructor. Its a good hour and I wouldnt be without her- worth every penny!

 

[Django Pony]

£30 per hour (although it's usually always longer than that!).

 

[BeckyCandy]

£50 for an hour plus but worth every penny me and youngster have both come on in leaps!

 

[Megibo]

My instructor charges £15 for half an hour, and £25 for an hour.

 

[georgie256]

£30 for half hour, but he is an established owner and trainer

 

[soloequestrian]

[NativePonyLover]

[Chestnut mare]
