I always thought twice a day was too much but at the lesson barn I am at now, most lesson horses do 2 lessons a day (normally 1 in the morning with a walk/trot kid then a jump school in the afternoon).

That's great you can get someone to give a lesson at 10a on a Wednesday, I can't go. Wow what a fricken amazing experience! Their farm isn't *too* horribly far from me (considering), maybe next year I find get a group to go over with me.
