Just curious really, about peoples views on having riding lessons, but not competing, whether it be because you can't (like me, no transport/money!) or don't want to (nerves or just no interest.)
I would love to train Dan to whatever level I can for dressage (elem/medium at least?), but can't see me ever being able to compete beyond the odd RC/unaffiliated elementary test at most! That's unless I manage to find a good dressage-loving, horsebox-owning friend!
Because I wont be competing, I almost feel like it's 'wrong' to want to learn...? This probably sounds stupid
But my current instructor is very competative, so I'm almost made too feel like I ought to be competing if I'm having lessons, or else I might as well not bother
But I enjoy learning, and having a well behaved horse, and don't WANT to do 20m circles all my life!

What do you say??
