i have a lesson w week, and a clinic every two weeks - so some weeks i have two a week!

to be honest i have no social life in Bournemouth, and all my money goes on lessons

I am not competing at the moment - I might be moving away soon as well so i will have no horse to ride so just want to learn how to ride better - i have ridden for 9 years but i have so much more to learn!!

I wish i could afford one a week!!

I have around 2 lessons a month, 3 if i have the money. I train with two BSJA accredited coaches, one i am at livery with and whom i also go to shows with - and the other i travel to once a month, she has more experience (vast amounts!!) but is very busy and expensive.

I jump up to newcomers, and am out competeing up to one a week...
 
No set pattern to my lessons at all, depends on time of year, weather, competition schedule, work etc etc. Normally if I book a session with a trainer will take two horses so could on occassions end up having 4 lessons in a week if doing flatwork and jump.
 
Usually only one a month, a SJ one as thats how often the trainer comes to my area. Although, I am looking for another one as we speak. Ideally I should be having decent flatwork lessons regularily but again, its proving hard to find anyone.
 
A couple of friends give me "advice" on my riding when we can get together. Don't do much in the winter but usually manage once a week in the summer. The know what they are talking about as I have done several very basic dressage tests now and have never got under 62% and I don't ride that well!!
 
About once a month depending on my finances with an experienced show jumper who's yard I'm on. She's absolutely wonderful.

I compete at local unaffiliated shows, about 2'6"

Usually 2 a month but can be more depending on competitions and finances. My instructor events, she hasn't done more than intermediate but that is due to horse injuries, she is great and will also ride my boy if I'm away. I only compete unaffiliated novice dressage, SJ and ODE up to 2'9" because I'll soon be needing a zimmer!!!
 
At the moment I'm having one jumping lesson a week, I need to be able to jump 2'6 for my horse course but that will soon come to an end and then it will be riding club clinic lessons
 
About once a fortnight. My instructor is a BHSI, and my horses are competing at affiliated novice and elementary dressage. Also have a lesson with a BD accredited trainer once a month if I can.
 
I can only afford one a month these days as have a small child to pay for.

My instructor currently has horses out at Inter 1 but think he has ridden higher.

I havent had my new boy long and having a small child means Im lucky to ride let alone compete.
 
I try to have one per week with Keith Robertson (he trains horses up to PSG) and one a month with Anna Ross-Davies. The horses I ride vary from novice to medium level. Am also trying to have one lunge lesson a month but that's only if I can afford it!
 
None at the moment but hoping to start up again soon in which case it will be one or two a month. Not sure on instructor at the moment as I've moved yards but will be an eventer type. We're just prelim/2'9 level.

haha...

I am at livery with Mia Korenika who trains me at home and at shows, once a month i try to get over to Di Lampard, who i have had a couple of lessons with already.

Both are very good at what they do!!
 
Competing at the min at RC ODE. Hope to do some intros this year. Working on settling down her flatwork as she is sooooo strong she can scare me a bit XC if things get tricky.
 
Rachelskeff - I really want a lesson with Anna Ross-Davis! Do you mind me asking how much she charges and wether she teaches mear mortals like myself.

Thanks Emma x
