OK, I'm gonna admit my bias up front. I used to teaching riding, trained, boarded other people's horses (still do this), bred... You name it I probably did it with horses. I gave up all sorts of things to support my horsie habit. BUT to me it wasn't giving up anything because being with the horses was what kept me going. To this day I'll go out and hang out in the barn to "absorb horse molecules" as I call it.
Doggiedo, ask the instructor if you can be a working student. Many are willing to take one on. You can work off part of your lesson cost. Plus you get to hang aout around the barn and learn all sorts of nifty stuff.
Like I said, I have a bias towards the horses and riding. To me it would be worth giving up something to be able to ride. Is there something you can give up or do without in order to be able to ride? You are very right, horse related stuff is expensive, but boy howdy the benefits outweigh the cost!
