Lessons - how often for you?

[OliveOyl]

how frequently (if at all!

) do you have lessons with your horse?

 

[Madam_max]

Once or twice a week, however I am not having my jumping one in the week at the mo as I am BORED of the school and winter

 

[Lill]

Currently, once a week, usually once a month or every other month!

 

[Safina]

Flatwork - once a week at my yard
Jumping - once a fortnight at her yard

please don't ask me about cost, I think I'd cry if I worked it out.

 

[Jo C]

Once a fortnight, would love more but can't afford them.

 

[CSYMolly]

Try get two in a month.

 

[Wan2bEventer]

I aim for once a week at my yard for flatwork, and from February will be one a fortnight XC and SJ. Currently though the weather appears to be disrupting my plans somewhat!

 

[ecrozier]

Round about once a month flatwork at our yard with instructor who comes in, and once a month SJ, XC probably once every other month or thereabouts. Would love to do more but can't afford it!

 

[carthorse]

Not often enough,would like to find someone near to help my daughter as it takes up a whole day to go to Partoow and of course diesel is expensive.They are really worth the time and expense but would like her to have help more often.

 

[Seahorse]

Every 2 weeks with a dressage instructor.
She gives me loads of exercises and things to do in the mean time and when I have my next lesson we can move on to other stuff.

 

[Rachel1]

At the minute I have lessons with my regular trainer once per week ( although this sometimes slips to once per fortnight for financial reasons!) and once per month with another trainer.

 

[madhector]

Once a week with flatwork trainer, every other week with jump trainer, but usually manage to get to a jumping clinic in the weeks I dont have an actual lesson

 

[Santa_Claus]

Depends really, when all is ideal I have a dressage lesson once a week from fellow livery who is a very good dressage rider. BUT because of her full time job, plus mine plus otehr things we have lessons in fits and bursts having about 3 in a row then none for a month!!

 

[BBs]

As and when i can afford it unfortunately.

 

[Delhi]

I join a rally/group lesson once a week, though haven;t restarted after xmas yet! And aim for lessons once a month though in reality I had my first one in 6 months last week!

 

[dianchi]

Every tuesday!

 

[dixie]

I try for once a week and end up having about 1 a month !

 

[Eccles]

Depends how I feel about how he's going and if I reach a point when I know I need lots of help!

Every 2 days sometimes

to once every fortnight other times.

 

[Hattikins]

It depends really, at the height of the eventing season i have a 1/2hr "top up" dressage lesson either the day or weekend before a competition and ill rarely have a SJ lesson. But in the winter ive had about 2 dressage lessons in 3months and loads of SJ lessons due to me working up with my SJ trainer over Xmas and taking Hattie with me

At the moment im having a lesson every week/fortnight what with a new horse to learn how to ride etc.

 

[_jetset_]

I have lessons once a fortnight on Hannah, and when Grace is back in work, I will take both of them to the clinics I go to so they will both have lessons twice a month...

Ditto.

If anyone knows of any other magazines that need guinea pigs for free lessons, BBs and I are always available.

 

[SpottedCat]

I try for two or three times a month flat with once every six weeks or so going off the yard. Then jumping I've managed about oooo 5 in the last 18 months! Rubbish! Hopefully there will be one in Feb though...fingers crossed.

 

[Scarlett]

I haven't had lessons in aaaages as I couldnt find anyone I got on with who wouldn't look down their noses at my bargain basement exracers - however through HHO I have found a fab trainer who I'm trying to have a lesson everyweek with, the difference in my horses in just a couple of lessons is amazing and its really motivating me to get on and do stuff this summer that i didnt think I'd ever get to do....

 

[Halfstep]

Once a week if possible with regular trainer at home, once a month intensive weekend away (usually two or three lessons).

 

[not_with_it]

I have one every other week if the weathers good enough. Sometimes I cram an extra one inbetween.

 

[volatis]

Cant afford more than once a month at the moment, but will be once a fortnight soon

 

[MagicMelon]

Once a month which is only how often my SJ trainer comes up to my area to teach. I do tend to get flatwork lessons during the summer as well.

 

[Louise_88]

I have lessons once a fortnight now on the flat, used to be every week. When i start with my showjumping lessons again it will be about every fortnight as well.

 

[Tempi]

2-3 times a month. But am starting with another trainer aswell in feb, which will mean i get in another 2 lessons a month hopefully

Because i work full time and have to travel to get to my trainers i cant have lessons in the week, only on weekends. My current trainer is often really busy so its hard to find weekends when we are both free.

 

[wizoz]

Well i'm very lucky because my trainer is my friend and so I don't get charged but I have 1-2 flatwork lessons a week. Jumping is less often, but I am hopefully going to get in 2 a month until I start eventing, not many then!!
