saddle jacket
What color should I wear for sidesaddle?

I just started side saddle with my arabian, and I heard that there are certain colors you have to wear accaroding to experiance. I'm haveing my jacket made for me and I want to right. Is this true? If so what color should I wear?

No it depends on what competition you are doing. You would want black for dressage, and dark or woodsy colors for jumping. I'm pretty sure for saddle seat it's pretty bright colors but not 100% on that.

race horse trainer
How much does a horse trainer when you train your horse wins, for example, a $ 1,000,000 race?

Different coaches negotiate different contracts. Usually they will charge a daily or weekly by horse and receive a percentage of the bag (usually around 10%). Purses are distributed through a percentage system, but depending on where the race was run, the winning horse may have won between 55-75% for the estate. So for a career $ 1,000,000 for the winning horse would receive $ 550,000-750,000, 10% of which would be $ 55,000-75,000. Many coaches divide this amount with stable help. Some give 1% of the money bag for the groom and exercise rider, other banks all their pocket money and percentages distributed across the stable yard.

Learn Spanish in Latin America - Much More Than Learning a Language

Many people choose to learn Spanish in Latin America because of the wide range of incredible locations in which to learn the language. Students can choose a beach location like Montanita in Ecuador, or a very historic town like Cusco, high up in the Andean Mountains of Peru. Whether you want to explore archaeological sites, experience indigenous culture, observe wildlife, or simply laze on unspoilt beaches, Latin America provides all the ingredients for the perfect learning experience.

If you want to see the jungle or have always wanted to go to Machu Picchu, then take a Spanish course that facilitates these aspirations. For example, El Paraiso Spanish Language School (Costa Rica) enables students to stay in Manuel Antonio National Park, with its beautiful beaches and extraordinary biodiversity. ACUPARI Language School (Peru) is based in Cusco, the amazing capital of the ancient Inca Empire. Some students divide their time between two locations so they can explore the natural and cultural diversity of Latin America.

Another reason people choose to learn Spanish in Latin America is the immense choice of courses available. They range from private one-to-one tuition to a myriad of specialized programmes. For example, Interhispanica (Argentina) offer Spanish and Latin American economy classes. OL?(Mexico) offer specially designed programmes for children, teenagers and seniors. Educacion Para Todos (Guatemala) offer customised programmes for social science and medical professionals. Most language schools offer special modules to meet the needs and personal interests of students.

A popular option is to combine a Spanish course with some volunteer work, either once you have finished your language course or during the time when you are not attending lessons. Typical areas of work include helping out in orphanages or nursery schools, working in local community projects, assisting with wildlife or conservation projects. Volunteer Latin America provides information on over one hundred Spanish language schools that offer volunteer work and internships. One such school is Tandem Santiago - Escuela de Idiomas Violeta Parra (Chile), which arranges internships for high school graduates and college students throughout Chile.

Many language schools enable students to combine a Spanish course with adventure and sporting activities. For example, Andean Global Studies (Ecuador) offer Spanish classes combined with diving, surfing or kiteboarding. The Mariposa Spanish School and Eco Hotel (Nicaragua) organizes horse riding trips to the Masaya Volcano. A wide range of outdoor pursuits and activities are offered at other language schools including trekking, paragliding, rock climbing, river rafting, skiing and snowboarding.

In addition to the Spanish courses, most language schools offer extra-curricular activities to suit the tastes of all students. This includes attending sporting events, jungle hikes, guitar lessons, cooking classes, movie evenings, trips to the theatre, parties, and excursions to local places of interest (archaeological sites, indigenous communities, national parks, etc).

From the evidence cited above, it is easy to understand why many people choose to learn Spanish in Central or South America. There isn't anywhere better to combine a language course with learning new skills and having fun. For example, a Spanish course combined with Salsa, Merengue or Tango dance lessons is a great way of meeting other like-minded travellers and having fun. Many students forge lifelong friendships through such an experience.

So what are you waiting for? Immerse yourself in the Spanish language and culture of Latin America for the most rewarding educational experience of your life.

Forget about Spain, where the accent isn't as attractive and prices far higher than in Latin America.

How much do you pay for horse riding lessons?

For how long? In which state? English or Western? Group or private?
On your own horse or the stables horse?
Wow! What a big range - anywhere from $10 to $75 an hour. Thank you so much for all of your answers, they are appreciated. Wish I could have given you all "best answer".

It really does depend on where you live for the price of an average lesson. In Tucson, AZ, usually they are around $30-40 per lesson. But when I go to California, I have to pay $60 per ride. An hour each. So there is a huge difference. And in Tucson, my lessons are private. In California, with like 3 other people.

and usually there is no difference between the price for your own horse or the stable's horse.

halter breaking horses
my 1 year old horse is halter broke and can lead me, but when I try to take her now I charge?

ensure that their a halter soft, much too hash put it out of place to be. Also, her halter and stand on the shoulder. this will make it difficult for her to charge and be firm but quiet reward good behavior rather than punish. a quick jerk on the lead line and a quick "Stop" or "no" will be fine for punishment, but move on once they have been punished and rewarded with a "good girl" when she acts.
