Hello everyone, this question probably sounds pretty absurd at first, so let me briefly explain the situation 🙂 Half a month ago, I found a horse partner who moved to the farm where I now take riding lessons about a week ago. So, it made sense to take my current riding instructor's lessons with my…
My riding instructor told me there's an epidemic here in Stuttgart. She said we should disinfect all our things, which I agree is the right thing to do, but have you heard anything about it? I look forward to your answers
I (f, 15) have been taking riding lessons for several years and have a riding partner, and I've been helping my riding instructor a lot for about two years now. I'm often there during riding lessons with several children, leading the horses with the children, entertaining the children who aren't riding, and sometimes spending about…
Hey, I got my own pony by chance (it was my grandpa's pony. He started jumping up to A level with the RB and did A level dressage at home in training). When he died and the RB couldn't have the pony, my mom said I could have the pony after four years of riding!…
Have any of you ever attended a really good riding course (dressage and/or show jumping)? Which trainer really helped you progress? I'd also like to take the Riding Badge 4. Can anyone recommend a farm with school horses? Preferably in northern Germany?
I've been riding for 6 years and at first everything was fine, the riding instructor was always praising me and so on. I usually only ride the same horse (especially for the last 2 or 3 years) and I don't really think it's that bad, even though the horse is pretty stubborn and cheeky, typical…
So, we took a look at the farm because we want to learn more about riding. The horses are kept in their outdoor stalls and look in good condition. The riding instructor is very personable and always works on a horse-by-horse basis; she has even taken in a horse that had previously been abused. The…
Hello, I started riding last January. It's always been my dream, and I love riding. Unfortunately, my riding instructor didn't have many appointments for me. At first, I had the feeling that he didn't think I was confident enough to ride, and after the lessons he always asked me if I wanted to come back….
A question for the entire equestrian community. What are important criteria for you that allow you to quickly determine, "Yep, that's a good fit, this person will help us move forward!" Or, what are your requirements for a riding instructor? Are there any "red flags" for you? Meaning: what do you immediately know won't work?…
I got my Icelandic horse (mix?) with a deer neck. The owner of the farm where he previously stood told me that it couldn't be removed because his neck was too short. Over time, he's really starting to take the hand and is finding a good connection. He's also increasingly doing well in the field….
