Sorry, no cute horse pictures to share! I know, it makes me sad too...
I grew up riding hunter/jumpers, but I had to take a break for ten years (I'm a vet tech, I make no money, and that's all there is to it). I am finally in a position where I have a friend's horse to ride and I can take lessons once a week - but holy crap am I rusty. It's embarrassing!
Can anyone point me towards some youtube tutorials or websites for things I can work on when I'm on my own without a trainer? Youtube didn't exactly exist in the way it does today when I was riding consistently, and my current trainer is already confusing the hell out of me with some things (like how high to hold my hands, I was previously trained to hold my hands just barely above the withers and in front of the saddle - and my current trainer says that's just wrong!).
I have been riding horses since I was 7. I started lessons after a vacation Chincoteague. I did Hunters before moving on to Jumpers, Dressage, and Eventing. I got a horse in 2009, but he was retired a few years ago and is just a pasture ornament now.
I started lessons after moving to a new state, but the didn't really vibe right with the owner/trainer and money started getting tight so I stopped riding in April last year.
I got a raise at work and paid off some debt, and found a new eventing barn that looks promising. I have my first lesson tomorrow.
I will say lessons around here are super expensive. :( It is $60 for an hour. I was paying $35 at my old eventing barn back home. Hopefully it will be worth it.
Could I also get an honest opinion of the instagram?
I really want to make the account appealing, but it seems like I'm out of touch with what people want to see :P
Thank you in advance
