A small dilema

[eahotson]

About 2 years or so ago I was in a bad place riding wise.Had a totally unsuitable/sharp horse (although I didn't fully realize it at the time) and one very damaging instructor.All pleasure and confidence had left me.Enter new instructor who seemed good and very sympathetic and kind.After 2 lessons though she became quite aggressive and bullying.I dumped her asap.Now in a happy place with really lovely instructor/horse.Thing is Mary, as we will call her, has started up a smashing little club that does things that I would love to do and no other club does.Things like western lessons etc.A chance to try different things and is not particularly competative.Just don't trust this woman.Would you give it a chance if you were me or steer clear?

Sounds like you've been badly let down in the past which has knocked your confidence. If you want to have a go at the thing offered in the new club I'd say go for it but at the same time be aware of what has happened in the past & tske things slowly until you feel you can trust again. Not everyone out there is a scum bag, but sometimes it takes a while to find them.
Good luck & have fun.

Thanks Carlosmum.Yes I was, VERY badly let down.Perhaps I will just go and watch a couple of times.

Go for it, Do it rather that regret it.

I was in a similar situation to you a few months ago and I was offered the chance to try jump-cross and I turned it down and now I really regret it, Just try it
