Western riding lessons at Sovereign Quarter Horses

[eahotson]

First of all, if I buy a quarter horse I will try and beg borrow or steal one of his.I found it very good. The full monty with western saddle and curb bit.You rode with no contact at all which showed up how much I rely on contact without even realizing it.My two rides showed me how crooked I sat too!Very relaxed pleasant style of teaching but very correct.On my first day I had the patent safety but was considered good enough to go up a step the next day.Loved the style of riding.Want to go back and maybe take my own horse sometime.

David and Sarah are amazing - we've got our own QH and show at AQHA shows, but when we went over to SQH for some training with our boy last year we saw them teaching clients on the school horses and I was very impressed! I'm a BHSAI, and have to say the combination of safety, confidence giving, correct foundations and fun would put most English riding instructors to shame! David also taught at a camp that I attended and it was an inspirational experience for all participants.
SQH-bred horses are not cheap but will have had the very best start in life and are from bloodlines that have proven they can do anything from happy hacking to showing at the highest level. So glad you enjoyed it - western will enhance your life and ruin your finances (but it's so worth it )

Thanks for that and you have hit the nail on the head about the teaching.

David and Sarah are awesome instructors ... we do have a 3 day clinic in West Wales with them in the summer, maybe you would like to bring your horse to take part. The venue is on the edge of the Cambrian Mountains with spectacular out riding, in short, a great weekend with lots of fun and excellent tuition.

Glad you had fun, I must have hit them on the wrong day as I really didn't like it. The horse was nice and they were nice people but they totally ignored me through most of my lesson and spent it talking to others instead of teaching me. I left having spent a lot of money to learn virtually nothing. Glad to hear that isn't typical but I wouldn't go back there which is a shame as I was super excited.

Sounds brill but might be a little bit too exciting for me!

So sorry you were disappointed.

I've been dithering about going for months- you might have made up my mind!
