Wish to learn horse riding but finding costs too high?

Question

Hi there,

I'd like to learn how to ride a horse but I'm finding the prices too high for me. I'm a 19 year old student from a low income family. I live in Greater London. For the amount of money that it is needed for one horse riding lesson I can get two car driving lessons.

Do you have any tips for getting a better deal or ways to go about being able to fund new interests like this without having to sell a kidney?

Thanks
