So, I haven’t been updating this like I should be… I have been riding and it hasn’t been going horribly, but I am so, so frustrated right now. I feel like my position is awful and I really want someone to FIX it or at least give me the tools to fix it and that just doesn’t seem to be happening. I feel like with my whole riding career once I could do things, it no longer really mattered how I did them or what it looked like as long as I did them. I feel like this would be the best time to work on my position because I’m not trying to train a horse at the same time, I’m just riding, but no one who has lesson horses in the area seems to be the kind of trainer that focuses on position and nit picky little things. I do really like the barn I am riding at and the horses are so nice there, but I guess I want something more serious, which I am not going to find especially without my own horse.
On a positive note, I might be half leasing a horse soon! I am going to try him tomorrow and will update with how it goes and whether or not I will be riding him. I’m also currently playing phone tag with a woman who might want me to ride her horse when she can’t. Hopefully with more time to ride I can work on correcting my position more… maybe if I get someone to video me or something I can do it myself…
Hi! I hope things improve for you…I think we all go through periods of feeling like nothing is getting better and then BAM, all of a sudden you can see all your improvement! Definitely finding someone to videotape you would probably help! Good luck!
