Sure, that would help. I am a frequent and happy consumer of
riding lessons myself, if for no other reason than as a student
I am entitled to grill someone for specific details on a point
of riding or training, and they will answer me at length (or I
get another instructor).

But I am thinking also of the readers here who have themselves
mastered basic horsemanship, but are at a loss re how to help
others in their units. Rec.equestrian is a venue where you can
learn by reading about other riders' problems and solutions.
And the diversity of both problems and solutions can be huge,
so you can learn a lot there.
