Hello all!
Bit of a weird question today! I'm from the US but my uni has offered me an opportunity to take a semester to a year abroad on scholarship. I'm still back and forth in whether I want to do it... One of the deciding factors is honestly getting my horse fix ?
Currently considering Cambridge, Winchester, or possibly something in Ireland although that will take some extra work to get approval.
My question is for anyone local to the universities or near nice ones in Ireland. What are your lesson/loaning options like in those areas? I'm not too thrilled with Cambridge's team so if I choose that school I'll definitely be riding off the campus.
I won't be bringing my horse (if anyone follows him The Potentially Possessed Horse) he really could not handle staying alive with all those changes ? so I'll be looking for a loan or, if that's not possible, weekly to twice a week lessons. Does anyone know of private/public barns in the areas that I should check into? So far, due to Covid, this wouldn't be happening until Fall 2021 but I need my decision in by this spring so basically... I have to figure this out ?
I would be looking for a jumper barn, showing opportunities really not necessary but a horse with the ability to go at least 1m is important. Also ability to handle me being dumb. I.e. mostly matchy photos, not a lot of riding ??
I know looking into this from so far away isn't ideal but the school I choose really will be at least 50% impacted by the riding opportunities around it and since I can't pop over to look myself... Hoping someone has some ideas!
