Mornings are a huge rush for me as they must be for most horse owning parents. We literally feed, rug and turn out before work and school.
Saturday mornings for me are like heaven. Little jobs get done at the yard and we have a long hack before a super grooming/neatening sessions. My daughter lives for Saturday mornings aswell. I dont know why its just so nice to get them done, I then work a sat pm.
I desperatly need lessons really. My riding the last got knows how long has consisted of "tryng to stay on" and get my horse to hack safely or gently hacking my horse with joint problems. (no schooling) this has left me VERY rusty and now i dont feel able to school a horse! I just seem to wander aimlessly and worry im not achieving much (im not!)- trying to stay on horse has the knack of this hacking buisiness and agree's its not so exciting now needs some serious schooling.
Ive spoken to an instructor who i like the sound of but it means i have to work a saturday morning to finance it :-(
My daughter would be really upset and we would both miss our morning together. Also id be pretty knackered and probably get a but disheartened if i never had time off?
Opinions?
 
But you wouldn't have to work every Saturday. You could have six weeks of lessons and then a break say. And presumably it won't stop your daughter from being on the yard on Saturday mornings...??
 
Well it would yes- Its our own place as in i rent a field and we put up a few stables so i cant just drop it her off there alone Its a bit out of the way and no one would be around if anything happened to her.

I suppose i could have the odd morning but even waiting 6 weeks sounds a long time. Its an idea though- Maybe the instructor would be willing to do every couple of weeks? She has to travel to get to me but said its ok as she will be teaching someone else fairly locally so didnt mind coming for 2.
