Is it embarrassing to have a lesson as an adult?

[Kunoichi73]

It sounds like he needs a bit more self awareness!

Actually, one of the things that is stressing me a little about the group lesson is missing an instruction! The other is, if we are doing poles of something, I'm rubbish at remembering routes! Which is fine in a private, but I don't want to look like a muppet in a group lesson!

I'm feeling reassured! The only reason I was a little worried, was because I haven't been for a lesson in this place for over 10 years!

Many non-riders think that having riding lessons means that a person can't stay on a horse. It isn't so.

Of course not!

not at all - I have one once a month as do the majority of adults on our yard

 

[Poppy+MrDarcy]

The lesson was a success! No-one questioned me and I even talked to a very perky 4 year old

Small children terrify me!

I’m embarrassed I don’t have lessons! I’m so desperate so be able to go for lessons, go for it!

Having ridden for 35 years and still barely grasped the fundamentals I see huge benefit in lessons.

I've seen weird things with my two

I can see how it might feel a little awkward to be the only adult in a group lesson with children, but certainly nothing to be embarrassed about. As long as you're learning and having fun, who cares? If people want to judge negatively over people having lessons, frankly I think that attitude is more embarrassing!

Glad to see you had a good lesson.

Nothing wrong with lessons, but I'm not sure kids and adults is a good mix!

Luckily I happened to take the wrong info, so it wasn't full of children an there was a few other adults

I had my first lesson (ever!) at the grand old age of 34, surrounded by kids, and have been on the same yard ever since. I've recently bought my first horse and am now having lessons with her six years on. The only thing I've ever found hard about the kids thing is watching my language (I fail most of the time!) :-D
