Ah mud, splendid
This advice pops up so often in response to posts about schooling issues, as if it is as simple as popping up the road and picking one out.
But it's not that simple. We all know it isn't. So the question is, how do you go about finding a 'good' instructor?
Do you look for someone with certain qualifications? Someone at a certain competitive level? Someone who openly espouses training principles similar to your own? Someone recommended by a friend? Someone who seems to have been riding for at least 2 centuries?
And do you think there is any merit in having different instructors for different horses?
Interested in experiences, whether leading to successfully finding a 'good' instructor or not.
