How much would I charge for riding lessons/training?
When I grow up, I want to be a horse trainer and riding instructor. I plan on getting a degree in equestrian teacher/trainer at Lake Erie college, so I’ll be certified. How much should I charge for..
1/2 hour private lesson
1/2 hour group lesson
1 hour private lesson
and 1 hour group lesson?
And I’m going to live where I own trails and I was thinking I could let people trailer their own horses over and use my trials for a fee. How much should I charge for that? And what should I charge for training a horse?
And also, how can I promote my stables and make it a popular riding place?
Thanks in advance!
This all depends on your qualifications as a coach, years of experience, people you are in business with, and how you market yourself.
All of these answers vary for every individual, it’s what works for you and what you can do to get the best response out of the public.
