New rider in new area

[somersetredstreak2020]

Hi all,

I've recently moved to England from Utah, US. I'm in love with the picturesque landscape, as well as your style of riding. I've joined this forum to try and find out a bit more about English habits and traditions.

Thanks!
Amber

Welcome to the UK and the forum. a very good way of getting to know other riders and horse owners in your area is to join a local Riding Club

Welcome....what a totally rubbish time to start a life anywhere in the UK!

Welcome!

You may find our ways a bit odd! But hoping all the horsey folk in your area are making you feel welcome!

Which part of the country are you in?? I'm in the South West (the pointy bit!).

Are you actively looking for a horse right now???

Thanks very much! In Somerset, near Nunney. I'm fortunate that my husband's brother's wife keep two horses on their farm nearby, so I just need some events to go to!

You will have plenty to do in the area once things get back to normal, look at the websites to give you an idea of what is usually going on, there are numerous events on at West Wilts Eq centre, they usually have something on most days of the week, Mendip Plains is also nearby which runs a fair bit, both will appreciate offers of help at their competitions, I can vouch for how well WW treat their volunteers with good supplies of food and drink throughout the day, it is a good way to get involved and see how things run over here.
