So how much would you charge for travelling (I'm in Lincolnshire btw)?
Poll: How much do you pay for lessons/how often do you have them?

Opinions are like bum holes, everyone has one.
I normally pay £30 an hour but try and do a few things to blag some free ones! I am now staff at a place which has an equine department so hoping to get discount lessons as really like the way the head instructor teaches.

£20 for an hour, once a month. It was twice a month, but I had cut back for Christmas, and from January I will be going back to twice a month - one flat and one jump!

I pay £45 for 45 minutes private jumping lesson on Spider with an ex international event rider.
Plus I've just started having dressage lessons on Q with a local international dressage rider. He charges £45 for 30 minutes. He expects you to be warmed up & ready to go for your start time & by 29 mins I'm so exhausted that I'm def ready to finish
Both are well worth the money, as the improvement in me & the horses have been vast. As I'm paying more, I do have them less often than I'd want (I'd love to have a lesson each week
) But they give me loads to work on in between sessions. 
If finances allow, I try & have 1 a month with each instructor.
I also have a friend who teaches and she comes & helps me sometimes and she charges £20 an hour.

£27 for 45mins private lesson at own yard, every 2 weeks
worth every penny, with someone who brings on horses from prelim to GP level so she really does understand most peoples problems!

I stagger my lessons so have at least one lesson a week.
Session with my BSJA trainer every fortnight and he's £30 for 30 mins.
Session with my BE trainer every fortnight and he's £10 for 30 mins (don't ask!)
Session with my dressage trainer once a month and he's £25 for an hour.
And multiply that by two as I usually take two horses to each training session.

Daughter has a fabulous trainer in Pat Crann. Unfortunately we live 50 miles from her so don't get there as often as we would like. Daughter does however take both horses & go & stay with her for a few days at a time & has intensive training. This has brought her on really well. Pat primarily does SJ but is equally good at flatwork. She additionally goes to many of the shows we attend & gives advice & assists at these shows. She's always available on the phone to discus any problems etc & has become a good friend.
As for fees, that's a matter between her & her clients, but on what I have read in this thread she needs to increase her prices.

Blimey you lot get some cheap lessons!
We have a couple of trainers who come to the yard, one is a BE accredited and one is a BSJA listed, they both charge £25 for a half hour session.
Dressage I used to pay a grade 1 listed judge £25 for about a 45mins session. We have a well-ish known dressage rider comes to the yard now and charges I think £40 for about 45mins (I don't use her).
I use our local trainer for flatwork, and jumping sometimes. She is excellent and charges £18 for a half hour session.
I try to have roughly one lesson a week, that could be jumping or flat and on one of two horses. So each horse gets a lesson once a fortnight.
