That's what I was thinking! I remember him telling me that he didn't want to take the MSF course because he went to Tramas (the MSF course place) and just had a one hour private lesson. He also said "yeah after the 1 hour lesson you will know everything you need to know." And I couldn't help but be like "are you kidding?" there is NO WAY you can learn everything you need to know in an hour. I think it would be 100% beneficial for him to take the MSF course and actually be a licensed rider, for his own saftey!
