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