New rider

[rvaughan]

Hi at the tender age of 31 i have just had my second riding lesson. After having two children in the last three years i felt the time was right to give it ago. I'd been wanting to ride for a few years but was waiting really for the right time. I think am i doing ok did three short canters in the second lesson and i think i just might be hooked. Every chance i get i'm reading about horses, watching them on you tube or reading through some magazine. I love reading through the forum's and absorbing all the horsey info. It is quite strange that after only two lessons I have this thirst for everything horsey. Is this normal?

Heya.

Yeh definatly normal. Bet you feel like a full sponge reading all this.

Please intergrate in soapbox, get well known, built on online 'character' and enjoy yourself.

Perfectly normal

It's when you start getting withdrawal symptoms from not being around horses you have to worry

Welcome to the forum by the way, and enjoy!!

Totally normal, when i started riding again at 21 i felt like i had 'come home.' Never happier than when i'm in my jods with my neddies, no matter what crap life throws at you they are always there. Its not just a hobby or an interest its a way of life, enjoy!!

Hi
I'm 37 and after a few of riding school riding, I bought my first horse earlier this year and am even more obsessed now!!
I think I have become a bore to my non-horse friends, but I really don't care!

Just enjoy it!
Em

I too took up riding again last year after 20 odd years and love it. I am about to take on a loan pony, but the feeling of euphoria has changed to complete panic, doubting my ability. I really want to do this, and if I don't feel I will have let myself down.

Yup - sounds normal and healthy to me!! Be prepared to be tired, dirty and broke 24/7
