It depends where you ride. If you are having lessons at your house then yes you will probably need your own horse. But if you are going to a riding centre then usually you will not need a horse of your own.

When can you start instructing horseback riding lessons what qualifications do you need?
There is no law stating that you must have a degree or even a licence to instruct others in riding. But what I would look for in an instructor would be someone that has experience and someone that has shown their own horse(s) and that they have won on a consistant level. You can't instruct another if you don't know what you are doing. Someone that has show experience and was a consistant winner must know and understand correct riding. An added plus would be someone that trained that horse to be the winner it is.
