Hi all,
I am looking to get back into the horsey world after a couple of years out and wanted some opinions (you all seem really knowledgeable and a lot more involved than I am now!).
I found an advert that was a women offering her horses out for people like me (a bit rusty) or complete beginners, to come and learn 'horse care side of things' as well as some riding. Offering this service at £20. I first saw this and thought it sound perfect! I can refresh my memory and then look at properly getting back into it with a loan or share in a couple of months. But the more I thought about it the more I thought this sounds a little of a mickey take. Is this women expecting me to muck out her horses and do all the yard work while she stand there and 'advises' me and then expect me to pay her £20 for her expertise?
I guess what I am asking is if you think this really is genuine and going to be helpful or should I just got back to a riding school and focus the actual riding before remembering all the yard work that's involved?
Thanks in advance!
