Would you walk away .....

I'm so happy to hear about your lesson at your new place! Sounds like a big improvement and you sound more confident too.

Finding the right horse might take some time but at least now you can enjoy expanding upon your riding abilities in the meantime ��.

I went to view on last Friday - supposed to be suitable, private sale. First thing he did when the girl got on him was rear up, then put in two huge bucks. Continued on to the arena where he napped and spooked all the way round. Then went to see another one on Saturday who was really lovely, but after thinking about it for a day or so I decided he was a bit too young for me and needed further schooling. Have today picked up my lessons again at a fantastic riding school not too far away - Snowball Farm - where I will be able to do a lot more than at my other place. Their facilities are quite something !! Rode a beautiful 16hh ex show jumper, she was amazing to ride so so different from anything else I've ridden, very responsive and quite sensitive - my instructor was impressed with the way I handled her, as was I because my first thought was "eeek I can't ride her", but wow what a lesson I've come away on top of the world and can't wait to go back for more.

Hurrah - Snowball Farm is lovely - they have some nice horses and decent instructors. Onwards and upwards .

Oh fab to read about your lesson OP Onwards and upwards to greater horsey things .

As it sounds like they have nice horses I would take the opportunity to get riding a few if you can, see what you like and what you don't like .

Ditto re Snowball Farm - I practically grew up on the yard!

Wow that's a blast from the past for me Snowball Farm. I used to compete XC there as a youngster and I bought a lovely foal from them back in the 1980s
