[quote=Anonymous]Actually, you can get quite good at riding even if you go once a week to group lessons. And you don't lease or own a horse. I don't see where OP said he DD wanted to compete?
I did riding twice per week, the adult beginner rider. Dressage with small jumps from the start. Within six months I could ride pretty well. Then I continued with former instructors of the Canadian Musical Ride. 
Then I moved and rode trails, sand, and mountains. No more lessons whatsoever. This was all within 6 years.

While I liked riding the whole time, nothing in the arena compared to free riding for miles. I am a better rider now due to that fantastic experience. That is what riding is all about, miles of trail riding. Imagine galloping in the desert? Going back into the arena seems like an exercise in torture, for the horse and the rider. However, having learned a lot of dressage riding, made me a much better freestyle rider.
Many went riding and were owning horses and the whole shabang. Then they were flopping like chickens riding in nature.[/quote]
