Boo (6 in August) wants to start horse riding lessons this
summer. so... what questions do i need to ask the
instructor/stable?

Ask if they have insurance? I dunno.

Go watch a few lessons if you can. Some only offer group lessons for younger
riders, individual lessons for older riders who seem really serious about
it. I think my parents just took me to the stable that was closest - they
had a summer pony camp program.

I took riding lessons from age 7 and as a teenager I later gave lessons on
my outgrown pony. I had four students. It was great. I begean teaching my
son and two nieces to ride last year but we had to stop for several
reasons - I hope to start them again soon.
