I want to do eventing. It has been my ambition for a long time.
Always rode when I was younger, brought on 4 young horses, one of which was an ex-race horse and had ambitions to compete in eventing at higher levels. Due to the fact there is no money in horses, I moved away to University and trained to be a teacher first, but this completely put horses on hold, as I only had chance to ride when I went home. With always having young, green horses, I haven't really competed at anything bigger than 80cm in show jumping, have never done dressage and only the odd baby cross country course.
I have been teaching a couple of years now, I am 24 years old and looking to start. But it is start from scratch. I have no horse, no where to keep it, no way to transport it etc. I am starting riding again by sharing a horse that is local, and I'm going to focus on flat work as it is the area I have least experience in.
I do have knowledgable family to help and act as trainers for me. I want to try and make it to the higher levels e.g. 3* or more, but I don't know if that's even possible only starting now.
I guess this is the start of me documenting my progress from nothing to something. Hopefully I don't sound to crazy!
