bit of fun really, whats your riding story? (from when your first sat on a pony to where you are now). Pictures welcome
Mine is boring:
Riding school after Riding school, about 5 in total in the space of about 6 years. Had a break for a few months as was so fed up but decided to give it one more chance, best decision ever, the riding school I went to was really really good, I went from only just being able to canter to jumping 2'9 jumps (badly) in the space of a few lessons. went on holiday to cornwall and rode a 4yo ISH on the beach I felt pretty proud of myself
anyway, went to see a relatives horse who is a 4yo 18.2hh shire at a yard 5 mins down the road from me, rode him, which was an experience ahah but he is such a character. on the same yard (in fact the stable next door to their shire) was a horse who needed a sharer- perfect opportunity, it was like fate! so been sharing him for 6 months now and my riding has come on so so much. Also another opportunity has come up at the yard for a cob who needs a rider, first time riding him tomorrow! so I have gone from a awful riding school rider, riding twice a month to riding some amazing horses 2+ times a week Hopefully one day I will have my own!
