When was your last Riding Lesson? Poll

[Enfys]

Just curious, so, as it says, When was your last Riding Lesson?

I haven't had one for a very long time

 

[Olliedog]

Last lesson was on Wednesday. At the moment i only ride once a week and it's nearly killing me

 

[timeandchance]

About four years ago...although I'm trying to sort some out for soon..I need some more!!

 

[Baggybreeches]

I haven't had a lesson since early November, unless you count 2 jumping sessions with my mum. Was aiming to do some over xmas but was ill so I aiming to get back on track soon.

Weekly but sometimes they slip if Charlotte is away.

 

[fairhill]

Mine are usually every fortnight, I should've had a lesson on Monday, but had to cancel as we were snowed in.

 

[Murphs_Mum]

Normally weekly, on occassion fortnightly depending on what we are both doing. I can really tell if I haven't had a lesson for a while!

 

[JoBo]

Well technically by last riding lesson was on Gem (GinaGem’s ned) a week ago last Saturday, however I did have a lunging lesson with Bodey last Saturday so see how he is progressing so we can decide how long it will be before he is ready for someone to brave getting on him, not me!

We have regular Saturday lessons.

Wednesday this week - I am having two lessons a week at the moment! Wednesday 30 minutes and Friday 60 minutes group lesson

Ummm as in proper lesson?? Ummm.... too long!!
Probably early 2006, dont really count gridwork sessions with my sj trainer as lessons as they're more just getting each horse to jump well rather than working on our way of going.
The problem is, so long as I'm not hitting any problems, I'd rather spend my money on xc schooling and competitions. Plus if I was doing something wrong, my sister is often around when I ride and she'd soon put me straight!!

 

[Baggybreeches]

Thanks Boss, I was thinking that Iwas the only one who didnt have regular lessons, I only have them if I can afford them, as quite often it is more important to spend the little cash I have on going to a show. I always have my mum to save me being rubbish anyway.

The last proper lesson I had was approx 15 years ago. It was a one of with Charles Harris (don't know if anyone knows who he is-LOL!). I'd probably be ripped to pieces if I had one now

 

[jemima]

Well mine happened to be on Monday as it's a good way of getting hold of a school and I am trying to sort an "outline" issue with one of ours. However I haven't really had regular lessons for a couple of years now - and I do miss them dreadfully. All the money I would have spent on my lessons is now going towards daughter's lessons with a good instructor.

Mine was saturday!

I have a regurlar saturday jumping lesson, and I get free rides on the RS ponies/horses in the lessons every now and again

Last night!

First lesson on my new horse so I was a bit nervous but he was fine

 

[elliefiz]

I had one last night aswell!!ive been so busy recently that ive not had a chance to do any but i took the plunge last night and had a 90 min schooling and juming lesson- i was exhausted!!it went so well ive been smiling all morning because of it!!

 

[evsj]

I was having a weekly lesson with a BHSI until i moved yards in July. Since then I have not had much call to get a lesson cos horsey strained her tendon so has had the winter off.

 

[Alibear]

Pretty mucha year ago, only because then horse has to be retired.

Hopefully new year new horse and some lessons may then be on the horizon.

 

[pottamus]

Nearly 2 years ago...oopps! I don't tend to have lessons because I never get much out of them...my horse hates school work and just shuts off as soon as he enters one...no matter how exciting you make it. I was flogging myself to death and not getting anywhere with weekly lessons and whilst I use more than one instructor, they all ended up getting frustrated with him too!!!! So we do what we enjoy now...endurance and hacking! And we are much happier for it too!

 

[samp]

Ideally I would have one weekly but due to lack of hours and finances not since Nov 06

 

[pfarrugia]

have at least one a week - sometimes two. Trying to train up my baby so can start competing at an affiliated level. Trainer is only £25 an hour otherwise I couldn't afford it!!

 

[cosmo_sam]

Sunday

If I go too long without a lesson I go a bit cold turkey and need my Sue fix!!

 

[SusieJane]

I have weekly lessons with an instructor, and I can't believe how crap I was before!

I put that I had weekly lessons, even though I haven't for two weeks, as Big Bird was poorly one week, and the school frozen the next.

 

[PapaFrita]

Goodness!! I used to have one every day (we pay here by the month rather than per lesson) but now with BOF, who doesn't charge me (I help with his neds) it's more like 1 or 2 a week and occasionally 3

 

[Chex]

I had a couple of lessons on Hooch about 6 months ago, and a couple of jumping lessons on Chex about 4 or 5 years ago. Umm and then I had lessons at PC camp in 2000. And thats about it, never did the whole lesson thing

saved a fortune though

 

[ladylisa]

Ive had my new horse since may and havent had a lesson on herat all! ( must have a few lessons this summer )
So my last lesson was at the local riding school in nov 05.

 

[xxcharlottexx]

I work at a local riding school on a sunday and have a weekly lesson at 1:30 every sunday too

 

[teapot]

last lesson was August - not been well enough to ride since.

But hopefully lesson within next 10days or so

I used to have them twice a week

 

[Tempi]

2wks ago, got next one on 4th Feb. Normally have them every 2-3wks, however my trainer is competing at the Premier League at Addington this weekend (hes a GP rider).

 

[PinkFairy]
