Since moving to a new area - I've been investigating the local riding possibilities, and now I'm stuck about which one to carry on with.
The options are:
1) Riding school with rather uninspiring horse - but fantastic instructor and really getting to grips with my position and how I ride. This is the most expensive option.
2) Big riding school - not very personal service - in fact, felt like I was paying to school their horse as wasn't really 'taught' - but adored the very quirky horse (however, surprised they put me on it with only my word that I was an experienced rider). This is closest to home.
3) Riding a selection of horses for sale. No tuition - mainly happy hacker types that are quite surprised when I ask them to work properly. This is the cheapest, but furthest away.
I don't have unlimited time and money (saving for my own horse), so can't consistently do all of these. Thinking about trying to alternate but not sure if that would make it all a bit half-hearted. Or do I keep looking at other options...?
