[quote=Anonymous]My MIL bought riding lessons as a Christmas gift for my daughters. Without asking us. At a facility 45 minutes from our house, and the only road to the location was Rt15, a 2-lane road that got terribly clogged both ways during rush hour. Oldest DD hated it. She finished the lesson package and that was that. Youngest DD loved riding. We found a stable closer to our house and she switched to lessons there. We leased a horse in the beginning and eventually bought one. Equestrian is very expensive. Stable lease, boarding fee, exercise fees, food fees, caretaking fees, transport fees, vet fee, ferrier fees, show fees, show dress fees, and at least at our stable, it was common practice for the parents of the girls going to a non-local show to cover the hotel of the coach, her meals while at the show, and also pay for her gas.
