Annoying place. $35 an hour group lessons, $70 an hour for private lessons. So much as I'd love to take private lessons, I really can't afford them. So I called them, about groups lessons, and they have a year and a half wait apparently. So I asked to be put on it, and who knows, maybe I'll luck out, but grr.

and she said, 'if you were interested in private lessons, you could probably get fit in." because I'm advanced enough, apparently. But I can't afford that much money a week. The group lessons have 8-12 week sessions. If--*if*--I can take private lessons every other week, I could swing it. But I don't know if private lessons work on the same session deal as group lessons. *sigh* I hate talking to people on the phone. Anyone want to call for me and find out?

Lessons? What kind of lessons? Piano?

Hmmmm, it probably depends on whether the instructors are paid by the Center by client or by session. If they're paid by client it may be a possibility, as the instructor might have the discretion to make adjustments on a by client basis. If they are paid by session, then the Center is making the decisions, and probably won't be as flexible. Listen, if I can call the admissions office and fess up about my flako oversight, you can call and ask about riding lessons.

Of course, you could just sign up for a pony ride every Saturday...

My friend had to lease a horse, waaaay expensive. But how often will get you dressage lessons... it's amazing how majestic that looks. I hope you can swing it comfortably :)

For $70 on the hour, do they bring in Lendon Gray to teach you? Yikes. Either I'm spoiled or they're way fancy. Is this that other place you were looking at, last spring? The be-you-ti-ful but pricey one?

You should just move out here, help me kidnap the woman I rode with over break, and shareboard the boy. 'Cause that would be very practical indeed.

I've never been at a place or ridden with someone who wasn't fairly flexible about schedules and frequency. Your mileage will vary by barn, of course, but I'd definitely give it a shot. You won't progress as quickly as you would with more time in the saddle, but hey -- riding!
