This is an interesting question. I'm working toward my Coach 1 and I hadn't really thought about it. I'm interested to see the feedback.

I don't know what level my coach is at, but he makes at least $80 an hour....

depends on what discipline she specializes in..I know level 1 coaches who want to do kids, barely any showing, no fancy horses, they get about $20-30 a lesson no matter there skill, they usually get riders who just want to ride, or parents paying for their kids and don't want to pay lots for them to quit later on.

Hunter Jumper/dressage/3 day eventing/rodeo gymkana coaches-$40-50.00 a lesson if they have showing info, good proven horses, good clientel..if they are just starting then they go int he first catagory.

HUS, Dressage, Western Pleasure, show, reining-these are all in demand where I am (especially western
pleasure as there is only 2 coaches in all of AB) so they are around 50-80 a lesson.

I pay 60-90 for a lesson and my RI I think just has a minimum coaching level for insurance purposes, but walking in ehr tack room and seeing millions of trophies from my age to her age (about 25 years), and their proven show horses is enough for me to pay her the big bucks.
