Darcey has been here for two and a half weeks now and she's settled really nicely. The mare I was warned was stand offish and snappy is actually sweet and cuddly! Quite fiery and opinionated to ride. We have been hacking mostly and spent some time in the school. I have discovered that I am hugely out of practice and floundering a bit! I don't really know what to do with her and mostly end up meandering about and not achieving anything! So I am looking for a new instructor. I am in Glasgow, I don't mind travelling but due to work that would reduce my ability to go (have to rely on hubby to tow the trailer) regularly. I had some lessons a while back from someone who taught along the german scales of training and I enjoyed that and found it logical. However thats not an absolute requirement. What is however is a sense of humour to help a fat rider with a talented mare with a wicked attitude! I'm happy to be shouted at as long as it's constructive! I'm looking for flatwork lessons but maybe aiming more towards SJ. I can probably drum up some more interest at my yard if someone recommends an instructor who needs more clients to justify travelling. I asked the same question on the BD forum but all the suggested names were either not taking new clients, not contactable or not available when I was off work! I have also considered going to Ingliston for the clinics there but I don't really know who the instructors are! Help!
we spent ages working on my canter.
