Would you have a lesson off a fellow HHO'er?

[black_horse]

I have a lesson book for sunday off the lovely ClearLight on here and tbh im nervous as hell (i know she can read this too so i hope she will be uber kind to me ). I am not worried about my riding skill per se, but that i dont look like a complete tit

So, has anyone ever had/going to have a lesson off a fellow HHO'er who they havent met previous to this forum?

And if you could, who would you like to have a lesson off?

Im looking forward to my lesson, as long as i remember which end of the horse to ride.

 

[Silmarillion]

PS, definitely. I'd love her insight into the ex-racer I ride!

Good luck with your lesson, I hope to see a report / pics on here after! Enjoy!

Tarrsteps was the first I thought of, but clear light, ps, kerrilli and lots of others would also appeal.

 

[black_horse]

Of course, would i ever let you down

 

[PapaFrita]

Depends on the HHOer. Some yes, no hesitation, others... nah

 

[McNally]

Someone once came out and did groundwork with my horse when he was being a tool to lead, I guess your maybe taking a slight risk. People can be who ever they want online but yes I would give it a go, have fun x

 

[Booboos]

No matter who you are getting a lesson from don't be nervous!!!! Just ride as you normally would and listen to what they have to suggest! I've never had a lesson from an HHOer but following a New Year's resolution I tootled along to clinics with various big names and I never regretted a single one. They were all very helpful and nice!

I train regularly with an HHOer. Has transformed my riding. I also sent them my horse to compete for a season.

 

[sychnant]

Yes I would - well, I would if she would ride my horse for me! I don't want to embarrass myself

PS, if you are ever on the Welsh Borders, fancy a ride on a fat hairy pony who really can do it, just not with me on him?? Please??

(I'm not holding my breath lol, but when I am rich enough to afford transport again, could I deliver him to you for a couple of weeks so you can show me how good he can be? )

 

[Shantara]

Yes! Sometimes I get fab advise, but I'm not sure how to put it into practice. I'd love someone to come and tell me what they mean!

I love welshes! ill just pop around the corner lol

Would depend on the HHOer, really There are some who could give some very good advice and would definitely be beneficial to have shouting at you. Or threatening you...

There's certainly a few I'd like to see ride the beast!

That is either a very kind offer or you are a wicked person

I would love lessons from Auslander but don't think I could keep a straight face or any reasonable posture if she used her 'nipple eyes' instructions

 

[La Fiaba]

Definitely! Kerilli was my first thought, then as someone pointed out also Tarrsteps. A fellow HHOer was at my yard last week and taught me some groundwork stuff that I never knew which was great fun (can't remember her username sorry)

 

[JFTDWS]

You volunteering? 'course you'd be welcome, if you didn't mind the hairiness and the proximity to the ground

I would love lessons from Auslander but don't think I could keep a straight face or any reasonable posture if she used her 'nipple eyes' instructions

Auslander sprung to my mind too. I'm not sure nipple eyes would have the right effect though as I might double over laughing and leave my nipple eyes looking at my thighs

You guys!!

I will teach you both nipple eyes one day! You'll love it...

You have no idea what you'd be letting yourself in for

Likewise!!

 

[JFTDWS]

Likewise!!

I would probably die. I'm not the fittest individual in the world

 

[daydreambeliever]

I would have a lesson with shillsdare so she could fall in love with my wonderful hairy cob ;-)

Take pictures of her riding him!

I have it on good authority that Shils's image won't appear in mirrors or photographs...

JFTD and Daft Hoss are going to be teaching Mini RedMone!

Literally

Mwahahaha she would have so much fun... So would we... Just poor redmone who will be chewing her fingernails

 

[redmone]

Naw, I'd be drunk on the floor! The ONLY way I could cope!!!

Knowing you two, you'd probably use me as a jump! Oh god what a thought!!!

 

[loisb501]

I would...in the middle of trying to find an instructor as having problems with ruby at the moment! She is schooling well but hacking like a pleb started napping, god know's why as she's never actually got away with it! Anyone round Dundee fancy a helping out a highly strung warmblood?? haha! Called the saddler today, had the vet out last week for a check and got her teeth done so all of those boxes have been ticked! eeeek

Not a bad idea.. I was just thinking I could use some new / interesting fillers (time to drag my sheep out that I made last summer methinks ) If you'd like to pop down to mine on Thurs I will try you out under some jumps for F. I can provide copious quantities of alcohol

Sounds like a plan!!!

I was thinking of a change in career!! Spooky jumping filler - that be me!!!

Job description: Spooky jumping filler
Required skills: extreme alcoholism, strong liver (fit to take repeated alcoholic binges), startling appearance (bright wigs and clown make up can be provided).
Aggressive drunks may have future prospects in training showjumpers by "rapping" horses' legs to encourage a cleaner, tidier jump...

Think you can do it?
