I've seen this seat position a lot in pictures from show rings from knowledgeable, successful and competent riders. Bit confusing but maybe it's like you have to learn how to ride 'properly' before you can start to change the rules. Like Les Dawsons piano playing......

I've PM'd you.

OP- I'd bite your hand off if I was closer. Sounds just what I need. I've been looking for a share for months.

Thanks for the replies. I am trying to find a share but struggling to find anything in my area that doesn't cost £££. Toby - yes you are bang on, the owner did say exactly that numerous times. It was actually the second time I'd ridden him and the first he was great. Owner couldn't ride due to...

Sorry in advance if this has been done to death but here goes... I recently returned to riding and have spent the last few years on preloved trying to find a horse to ride. Earlier this year I was broncoed off a horse seconds after getting on and this has really damaged my confidence. The...

Good question, lillybob. I'm in a similar situation and wonder if I'll ever be able to own my own. Looking forward to people's replies.

Thanks very much for the replie. That makes sense as the instructor I have at the moment I found purely by accident and the only other other one owns a riding schools. Thanks BHS, have got on the website again so will start hunting and contacting people.

Does anyone know of any instructors in the North Manchester area who gives lessons on their horse? I've tried looking on BHS website but for some reason it just says there are no instructors in my area, I know there are and think it's a technical glitch.

Thanks for this thread and replies -having a rubbish day and the pics made me smile and 'awwww'!

Ha that's so cute!!

Yes she is barefoot!! And the field is in a really condition so probably not going to pick up too much as you say

Haha I know what you mean. I'm more than happy to do all jobs and have even done them without riding the horse, basically acting as groom for the owner! I've been to John shaw and thought it was great (fab instructor) but it's just too far regularly. Thanks a million for all replies. Will...

Thanks for your replies. springarising - I have spoken to the owner and she is fully aware of my thought so know she wouldn't be upset or cross. She quite happy that I care so much to ask all kinds of questions rather than jumping on without a second thought for anything or anyone else. My...

Im not in a position to loan due to work - I do on call and can have my work base changed every few months - and finances and lack of time, that's why I thought I should focus on the riding part until I'm more settled. I'm looking really to have lessons so don't want to be part loaning AND...

Have been trying to find a horse to exercise including lessons for the last year and have ridden so many unsuitable horses that the owner either can't or won't ride. After being chucked from a rodeoing horse a few weeks ago I've decided to go back to weekly lessons with a BHSII who I met by...
