Complete beginner needing advice

[Sgillno]

I have zero knowledge on anything to do with horse’s . Went for a hack for the first time whilst travelling around Scotland and loved it . I currently live in Glasgow and was wondering what the options are for regular horse riding with the same horse or is there any yards that allow you to part own / own a horse that they tend to ? All advice welcome

When the lockdown is over, get in touch with riding schools in your area. As a beginner, you will need to start with riding lessons and if possible some horse care and stable management lessons too. You certainly can have the aim of sharing or part loaning a horse in the future. It's definitely attainable if you are willing to learn and put in the time and effort.

A riding school is a good place tp start, and you could also look into volunteering at a horse charity if there are any nearby. You would learn a lot about caring for and handling horses on the ground. In therm of riding schools they vary enormously in terms of quality of horses / teacing / facilities, so choose carefully. Really good luck!

Another vote for a good local riding school. Start with riding lessons and then work your way up form there. This forum is also full of useful information and very helpful people too.

And always remember - there is no such thing as a silly question!
