Women Learning to Ride Horses

Question
What is the ruling on women going to horse clubs and learning to ride horses and equestrianism, whether the instructor is a man or a woman?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: If the coach is a woman, and the place is free of men, it is permissible. It is disliked as a sin if it is with men; due to the temptation and exposure to men without necessity, and God knows best.
