I live in cambodia and I take horseback riding lessons here at a french owned place called the Cambodian Equestrian Center. And my mom thinks that it's kinda expensive, but I keep on telling her that we would probably be paying more some place else and that its probably cheap. It's around $160 for a year of membership and 62 a month for four hours of lessons, do you pay more then that???

I would think that is cheap, usually it is around 30 dollars a lesson around here at different stables.

So $62.00 covers four hours of lessons making each 1 hour lesson approximately $15.50 - You haven't stated which currency we are talking about (I looked up Cambodian currency and it appears to be the Riel, but I don't really know very much about Cambodia at all and would love to learn), but that price in general is extremely extremely affordable, regardless of whether it is for recreational riding or competitive training. Even with an additional membership fee, that is still extremely affordable in comparison to what I pay in Australia (or would in New Zealand/Canada/US). You asked how much I pay: well a decade ago I knew you could get a lesson for $20.00/hour, but I know after that for more specialised things it started costing at least $50.00/hour (and did that for two hours in a row, gods horses can hurt you financially. Did that little $100/week stint for lessons for a few months, but quickly stopped). There are of course places out there which probably charge over $100+/hour, but then it's becoming specialised. Group lessons are of course more affordable than private ones. I will assume you're trying to convince your mother that in comparison what you pay is small, but regardless, horses are generally a big financial burden (ugh how I know this) - perhaps the riding school that you're with will reduce the fees if you help out around with cleaning duties and the like. It's worth a try and if it succeeds then you will have even *more* affordable lessons! I have a question for you: What is Cambodia like? Is it beautiful? Do you know if the Arabian horse is available there (from breeders of course)? What types of horses? I'm just genuinely interested. Well enough talking from me, I hope I helped you a little bit and that you continue having fun with horses ^_^.

That is very reasonable.

i pay $50 australian for my son an hour tell your mum that it is cheap

The lessons here at 40$ an hour because you need to pay for the lesson and for the use of the horse. I pay 30$ because I own my own horse.

you pay $160 a year for membership and about $15 for a one hour lesson? thats way cheap! i pay $50 for a one hour, private jumping lesson with my professional trainer. i moved and where i used to ride it was $30 for a one hour, group lesson (with 5+ riders). PS- i live in the states so i don't know if that matters.

11 :
Yes, that is really cheep!!!!!!!!

Your so lucky! I pay $55 for 1/2 hour lesson once a week. I wish I could get in the saddle more than once a week but it's too expensive. I'm also here in the states where things are a bit pricer.
