How much are Horse Riding Lessons?
ByI would really like to learn to ride and there are no websites for the riding schools in my area (East London). What are the average prices for a one hour lesson? Or am i better off buying myself a horse and learning that way?
You are better off taking lessons at a British Horse Society approved school first to find out if you even like riding and to also learn what it takes to ride and keep a horse. Here is a complete list of approved schools in London

No, I would strongly advise against just buying a horse before you learn to ride. Horses are expensive animals to purchase and maintain, and they can be very dangerous if you don’t know how to handle them properly. Also, a lot of people want to learn to ride, but after they’ve done it for a while, they decide it’s not really for them. In the midwest United States, you can get an hour’s lesson for about 25 dollars. Spending a hundred dollars and being able to walk away if you should decide you don’t like to ride is much better than spending a couple thousand on an animal you’re now stuck with and don’t even want.

i would strongly recommend not just buy a horse all willy nilly. horses are first of all very exspensive – food, vet, board you name it. second horses are difficult to care for & hard to find one thats the exact right one for you. Go to a local Tack Store & look for flyers, then go & check the places out. Thats how I found where I ride. Plus you get to check out the place [ & the instructor] before you commit. my lessons are $30 an our in the US

DONT but a horse on a whim you will probably regret it big time!
I pay between £10- £100 depends who the lesson is with and for how long! How long is a piece of string really!
