Now I am taking exclusivly hunt seat lessons from a great teacher. She’s very patient but firm and I’m learning so much. The barn where I take lessons specifically added on to the indoor arena so that she could have her own stalls and space for tack. I take lessons with a friend. Had a lesson today and focused on posting. I took lessons for about six months then my instructor left the barn. I then took a few lessons with another instructor but he decided to work with more experienced riders. Then I waited until last fall and tried again with someone else—that didn’t work out. She was an inexperienced teacher. So now I’m taking lessons at the first barn I started at. I’ve taken four lessons and am thinking of leasing a horse.

saving money

I’m researched the cost of buying a horse, plus the cost of tack, and boarding costs and I believe I will have enough money to buy one next spring. Every payday I save money just for my horse and money I don’t spend on lunches, I add to my account. In the meantime, I’m still taking lessons about once a week.
