If we accept that Hooch is the Hogwarts equivalent of
the school's riding mistress, I would then proffer
that the analogy indicates that there would be at
least three, and possibly seven, years of 'riding'
lessons given.  The classical horsemastership course
runs through the early days of getting one's
horse/broom to respond, through what-ever form of
dressage that might be taught. Add to this the various
skills needed for Quidditch (flying polo/rugger,
anyone?) and you have quite the lesson plan that would
take a fair amount of time, IMO.

Cheers,

Drieux
