Questions to ask a lesson barn

  1. Who would teach me? Ask how long the instructor has taught and which riders they usually work with.
  2. Private or group? Ask how many riders are in a lesson and what level they ride at.
  3. English or Western? Ask which style the barn teaches, and whether you can try both.
