Ok, so this summer i’m going to be working at a barn, in exchange for horse back riding lessons. And im a beginner. I have no clue what shoes or just what to wear in general. I can’t by anything to expensive. Like nothing past 50 dollars right now. But I think the most important thing I need right now are shoes. So can anyone give me some suggestions on what type of shoes are best for horse back riding and working around the stables. Im going to be riding english.

I am dying to have HORSE BACK RIDING LESSONS!!! I tried to look on the internet to find out where i casn get them but i couldnt find anything. Do you have any suggested cites that you have that helpes you find horse back riding lessons?

A lot of kids love horses.  Unless you already have a horse, lessons and horseback riding can be a very expensive hobby.  Here are ways to get your children involved with horses without emptying your 401k.

1. Horseback Riding Lessons – Call around.  The difference in cost is big depending on the stables that you are planning to let your kids take horse back riding lessons.

2. Kids Horse Camp – Find a kids horse camp in the summer.  This is usually a day camp where your kids can learn to ride a horse and care for horses.  While more expensive than one week  of lessons, it is much more affordable than a full summer of lessons.

3. Trail Riding – If you have a bit of experience, you may have some local places to go trail riding in your area.

4. Look for horse shows in your area and take your kid to see it.

5. Ask about price breaks for horseback riding lessons.  Many of the places that offer lessons will let some people work off part or all of their lessons.  Taking care of horses is a lot of work.

6. Start a horse blog and encourage your horse lover to write about horses and build a website or blog about them.  This helps them with their interest in horses and will also improve their writing and research skills.

7. Let your kids start a neighborhood horse club.  They can get groups of kids together for parties, watching horse movies, playing horse games, read horse books and such.

8. You can also do all kinds of horse crafts and activities for younger kids, although if they are getting older that might not interest them so much anymore.

These are just some of the ways you can help your kids get involved with horses without actually going out and buying one.
