DD 8 has started riding. Few day camps over the summer and now weekly 1/2 hr lessons with 2 older girls, about 10 and 12; she has had 3 of these lessons. They are all very confident. Lessons seem to consist of a few ‘round the worlds’, A LOT of walking between letters in the arena (apparently to learn to turn ) and maybe 3 laps of trotting. This seems a painfully slow, not to mention hideously expensive (£17 a time), way to learn to ride. Is this normal? I can ride, learned on friends ponies, no formal lessons and can easily and safely manage a fast hack. I have some other reservations regarding the stables, but they are 4 minutes from our house and next closest is 1/2 hr. Thoughts from anyone appreciated.
