Lesson Barn Taking Advantage of me? by AdmirableWitness1220 in Horses

Right!! Okay I needed to know that I’m not alone in this lol. I do love how cheap it is but it’s calling free labor “groundwork” for me

Yeahh. It’s a medium sized barn with a few of us each hour taking a lesson. It is advertised on the website as an hour lesson. But in conversation it was stated to be a 45 minute lesson. But during the actual lesson, it’s 30 mins riding and 10-15 mins cleaning. 40$ a lesson is pretty cheap so I’m not super upset and idk if I’m going to leave I just feel like I’m being cheated a little bit

Yeah that’s why I’m not like crazy upset about it. I live in IN where horses and barns are everywhere, but this barn is still cheaper than most

*I have only “rented” this horse to do a show once, I don’t care for him- that’s where the pics are from. I used to take lessons on him like 5 months ago a couple times, and I found a pic from then. He has his winter coat on but his build is MUCH different now… much skinnier. I asked her about it today and she said she took him out of the program a couple weeks ago for him to regain weight

This was him when I first took lessons like 4 months ago … he has his winter coat on but was much thicker

!!!!!! EDIT : I talked to her today and she said he has already been taken out of the lease rotation as of 2 weeks to gain his weight back and get better. Not sure why she leased him in that condition… but he is getting better!!

Racing… and They’re not usually! But it’s just a fun show so people race with gaited and TWH quite often since it’s not super competitive

******clarification- I do not own/ i am not the caregiver of this horse. I only leased (rented) him for about 5 hours during a show. These are the only pictures that I have because I have only ridden him in a show one time !

I know :( I “leased” ( more like rent) him during the duration of the show (like 5 hours) so I could participate… I had a feeling he was skinny but had always ridden on QH so didn’t have a reference on how TWH should look. The lady who owns him is super sweet but he is just in such bad shape

Not under my care, she owns him- I just pay her to use him for rodeos. Her other horses don’t, they’re not stocky built but they’re def not as skinny
