<p>I wanted to know what stables you do/ plan on riding at while at UCLA. I've wanted to properly learn western riding since I've been out riding with family members who own horses but I've never taken lessons. I know that Mill Creek Stables is close, but they only teach english style riding. I really want to learn western though, so any info on stables would be really appreciated.</p>
<p>Thanks!

<p>check it Foxwood (sp?), i heard its one of the top riding schools in the world. the people who go there are fairly affulent but they're prices were the same as other stables if i rememeber correctly, around $25 an hour abt 3 years ago.</p>
<p>I currently do jumping, but am planning on selling my horse soon. I don't think I will have time to ride and keep up in classes. Plus I'm not bringing a car. :(</p>
<p>foxfield is the best place, its pretty close. also that LA equestrian center in burbank. dont forget to pony up the dough for that kinda thing!</p>
<p>Thanks guys! Haha pony up the dough, I'm amused. But def., I realize it'll get expensive and I'll probably have school conflicts so maybe not the first year since I don't think I'll be bringing my car up until my second year (assuming it lives that long, it's almost as old as I am!). But money <em>hopefully</em> won't be an issue, I'm getting a lot of financial aid and I'll be working too.</p>
<p>"it's almost as old as I am!"
hehe ditto. mine's 17 years and... my mom forbids me to drive it from the bay area down here...
oh well. can't get parking anyway xD</p>
<p>Wow we have a lot in common, I'm from the bay too! My mom will let me drive it but suggests I don't take it the first year. But I def. want to bring it up since I was up there for a weekend and my host didn't drive so we couldn't do anything.</p>
<p>it's not a matter of suggesting you not take it first year...
unless you are one of the lucky few first years with parking priority, you're not gonna be ABLE to bring a car here.
there are ways to have a car without a parking permit, but it's such a hassle. and i'd say it's not worth it for norcal people. least not the first year ;)</p>
