hmm... I have ridden some of my friends horses  in the past...and i always 
payed my own fee's.
But i am an adult making my own money.
If i had a junior ride my horse for me ...i would pay for them since they 
more the likely don't have money of there own, and if i wanted to milage on 
my horse for his records.

My two cents
