There's alot of ranting going on in the forum today mostly about novice riders and riding school riders.
Now, I know that it's annoying that some of you have had 'experianced' yet not experianced riders come and try your horses and that of course would make you angry, upset you maybe, but surely you shouldn't all blame riding school riders or novices. Some people have just come out of a riding school (not myself but this is just through some of my friends) and are now wanting their own horse to loan/buy just so they can get to learn more about riding and grow more experianced in the sport of equestrianism. <
And they're not bad riders just not experianced, what would you suggest they do? Get a 100% novice ride and just do the same as they did before, not learning anything other than what they've learnt or get something a little bit more forward going and to learn from their mistakes.
Surely that's how some of you learnt how to ride? By taking on more challenging horses/ponies?
I know that some people are like ' I'M EXPERIANCED, I KNOW EVERYTHING, BLABLABLA' but there just the people that p**s you genuine nice riders looking for someone to loan their horses off. And I completely get that but some riders, genuine riders wanting to learn more and more barely get a chance now because the reputation of 'novices' and 'riding school riders' has just gone downhill. In my opinion anyway.
Sorry to mini-rant. Just from what i've read it seems you've all got it in for novices and riding school riders.
I've probably got it wrong, I often do so please, and i'm sure you will, correct me if i'm wrong.
LET'S HAVE A DEBATE AND A NICE FORUM POST OF ARGUING. Not being mean just saying it is a bit of fun :}
