As for Regina finding the time to learn magic, perhaps she’d tell Leopold she was going out for a ride or something which would give her a couple of hours leave from the palace. She would then meet up with Rumple, who would use magic to whisk her away to wherever he was teaching her then he would drop her off back in her kingdom so that she could pretend she’s just returned from her ride.
Riding every day though? 😆
We are shown that Regina had a love of horses and riding. She thought the “thing she loved most” was her prized childhood steed, after all. So it wouldn’t be a stretch to say she tended to go for long rides everyday. And the king, wanting to keep her happy so that she would take care of Snow White, would allow it. He’s a nice guy, too, so he probably feels as though she should be more than allowed to have her free time.
