How much would a lesson cost with an international show jumper?

[82lt82]

Hi, I was considering having a lesson with a professional show jumper, however I was wondering what the average cost would be?
I have a few in mind and all have competed internationally.
Thanks for any replies

There was a clinic with Autralian Team Coach Wayne Roycroft at the beginning of the month... Off the top of my head is was about $140 AUD/1 hour (roughly 95 pound) for a shared lesson.

I think at around £100

I've paid £50 for a group of four

Also £25 for a group of four

It all depends really on when, where and who.

I've generally paid £50 an hour for individual lessons.
Some don't like doing groups. Anyone in particular you're thinking of?

Tim stockdale was £75 / hour 2 years ago.

I have had lessons with an international SJ-er for £50 per hour, however I think you can expect to pay up to £100 - depending on who/what/where

I did a clinic (there was 3 of us) with Paul Crago and that was £25.
I have also been in contact with him re private lessons as the clinic was fab and he said he charges £50 for hour private training x

I think ' International showjumper' is a strange anomaly in that to some people it means people at the top of the game currently competing abroad / on teams etc etc or to others it can be people who have hopped over the channel and competed somewhere on foreign soil who call themselves international.

I think for a current really top rider they have to compete abroad anyway and would prob pay £75 +

for someone less proven or who was ' international' years ago prob £45 +. I don't mean that in derogatory terms but depending on what level you wish to achieve or compete at yourself courses and tracks have changed so someone riding big tracks years ago may not have the experience of todays very technical courses and yes they may be able to talk you around it but not be able to tell you the ' feel' so to speak. I suppose its talk the talk rather than doing the talk.

Paul Crago is someone who always has fabulous reviews. He was recommended by BS for my friends daughter to have lessons with.

This made me chuckle - quite true! So it really depends on your definition.

To me it's just as important to find someone who you like and who works for you, so you might have to try a few.

I had a lesson with James Davenport last year, it was £45 for an hour on my own but he wasn't going to charge us as mare wasn't sound. Really nice man and had her going lovely on the flat although unsound! Highly recommended.

I would agree with this, £50 for individual lesson at his, a fantastic coach encouraging, interested & positive, great attention to detail & firm but fair. He does group lessons as well.

Think Tim Stockdale is £80+ these days

 

[Tinks81]

who are you thinking of using more to the question?

 

[amage]

One thing to bare in mind is that just because somebody has competed internationally it does not mean they are a good teacher. I would be more inclined to look at somebody who has alot of students competing at a high level!!

 

[BBH]

I think most people want a lesson with a top SJer as an ' experience' rather than regular training. Unless you are a pro yourself or an amateur with high aspirations there are many many good trainers out there for grass roots riders who don't charge huge sums of money.

geoff billington was £200 per hour individual - hence why i went in a group of 4

 

[blood_magik]

Dermott Lennon was £80 for an hour

 

[Rosie1989]

Di Lampard is £70 for the first lesson, and £60 for every one after. She is a fantastic instructor

 

[Nightmare before Christmas]

I know tim only does lessons through the winter

 

[MagicMelon]

I paid £40 for a group lesson with Geoff Billington a few months ago.

 

[showjumpingfilly]

NBC - i think that would depend 'who' you are, ive got friends who have lessons with him all year round but then they are top yoing riders so sort of figures

Yeah I was talking to him last night. Regulars and those jumping higher level fit in around his schedule Hes a good coach. I like Geoff too!

It depends who it was! I echo someone's comment about teaching vs experience. I've trained with a pro who's great at what she does, however couldn't teach my horse, and told me to compete on acp

 

[slumdog]

As someone above has said Di Lampard is £70 and then £60 thereafter, although actually catching her to book is proving difficult
