i am looking to ride a horse. i live in stockport. can you have 1 lesson to see if you like it and how much does it cost? and are there any places you can do this near where i live
I don't know the area you live in so I can't answer that bit, try looking in your local phone book under riding stables. The costs varies a lot from one place to the other, depends how many facilities the riding school has, some have indoor and outdorr arenas. They are about �16 an hour where I live and a basic riding school is about �9.50 an hour. You can certainly have a trial lesson to see if you like it.
Agree with horselady, But I would book yourself a lesson at a good riding school to see if you like it, as a bad school can put you off. You can certainly have one lesson to see if you like it. Another good place to look is in tack shops and equestrian suppliers as they often have notice's up recommending schools.
Where I live you would expect to pay �20 to �25 for an hours lesson.
