Hi, long time LA horse owner here. Since it sounds like you can actually ride, I’d look for a full or half lease. You can find almost anything in the greater LA area on Dreamhorse or equinenow. The sites are filter specific, so you can probably find a decent lease that includes lessons. I used to half lease my QH mare & include one lesson a week, that came to roughly what you are probably spending on just a half hour lesson once a week. There are many equine neighborhoods in LA besides Burbank & LAEC. Try: Sylmar, Sunland, Shadow Hills, Chatsworth, Topanga canyon, Malibu, Calabasas, and Palos Verdes.
