Hi

[Jolly Jappers]

Just registered and thought it would be polite to make a brief intro. I'm new to riding having started about 5 years ago and have had regular lessons since then. Being fairly sporty and fit, I stupidly and initially thought 'riding! How hard can that be?'. So, 5 years of eating humble pie and lots of lessons in humility, if also thoroughly joyful and fulfilling experiences. No horse of my own, but i have friends who are happy to let me hack out on theirs and also 'borrow' for some coaching sesions.

Welcome to the most informative, knowledgeable forum I know, not me - i'm still eating humble pie 30 years on!

Hello and welcome to the forum!

I wish I had a pound for every time someone has said to "Don't you just sit there when you ride? It's the horse that does all the work!" ?
