Me and my friend are thinking about taking horseback riding lessons together, and I was wondering, how much are private and/or semi-private lessons generally?
And any other info on horseback riding would be great too. Thanks.
It depends on where you go and the credentials of the facility and the instructor. My instructor charges $40 for private lessons and she comes to you – she only does private lessons. That is for at least an hour lesson. We have gone to an hour and a half before during show season.
When I used to teach, I didn't have much credentials, and I charged $25 for semi private lessons (that was 10 years ago or so).
At your average barn, you will probably run into the $30-$50 range depending on how many students, and the duration of the lesson. I would advice against a half hour lesson – just not enough time to really learn anything.
I would also advice against some high dollar facility if you have never ridden before. It is better to just get experience with general riding at a school barn than to be asked to specialize in a particular discipline before you know what you like. All high dollar facilities that I know of specialize. They teach one type of riding and one type of riding only and sorry about your luck if you don't like it.
Where I rode in high school, there was English, Western, beginner Dressage, whatever and you could switch if you wanted to. Many students started out on one discipline and then moved to another, sometimes they moved back, sometimes they didn't.

The end of winter and summer horseback riding lessons. (The one where we are wearing fancy outfits was when we had to give a demonstration, and we didn’t have enough time to get ready, and we didn’t put saddle pads on so I wasn’t used to that. It felt weird. 
lol)

so i take horseback riding lessons twice a week, every one day of the week this girl ana comes and watches me and my friend julia during the lesson, I wouldn't mind if she just watched, but she always comes into the arena and starts talking to our trianer and distracting her, its so annoying and happens all the time, wat should i do?
Your instructor's attention should be on you – you are paying for his/her time and for the education. Ask the instructor to ask ana not to come into the arena while you are taking your lesson. Tell the instructor that you feel distracted, and also feel that the instructor is distracted, which makes you feel cheated. If your instructor does not comply, ask your parents (if you are under 18 and especially if your parents are paying for your lessons) to come and observe the situation. Then they will be able to tell (not ask) your instructor that they want all of the time they are paying for, and they would appreciate it if anyone not having a lesson with you would wait until after your lesson is over before they engage the instructor in conversation.
