My riding school

I just came to the realization that my riding school is not the best, it has been a lot of signs I just never noticed it before now. So I’m writing it on my small old phone 16:30 because I have nothing else to do.

Now what is the signs exactly? Well let me tell you. First let’s start with the horses, they have many low quality horses(nothing wrong with that)and couple clearly not liking to work. When you put beginners to tack up a horse that bites just you show it the saddle I think you are doing something wrong.

they put beginners on horses they clearly are not ready for. They have an amazingly skilled 5 year old, but I feel her slowly being destroyed by wrong riders and they don’t try hard enough to fix the problems created.

When horses don’t want to run more because they are tired or bored they tell you to use more whip and leg. If that doesn’t help they usually grab one of the reins and make them run in extremely tight circles. Which scares them and makes me uncomfortable.

they don’t suggest to move riders that are ready for it up a level. We should all see how annoying this is. Feeling like you aren’t getting anywhere, because you don’t.

Lastly I never learned to trot on the right diagonal. In my two years of riding there, I never once heard about trotting at the right diagonal. It wasn’t before I went to Kragerø where they have a really good riding school. And my skilled sister managed to get us a free lesson in the middle of riding camps I heard about it. They in general don’t do a good enough job teaching us the technical things.

Now why am I not moving, because I can’t. I can’t drive as I am not old enough, but if I don’t learn any more after being moved up a level I will ask my parents if I could go somewhere 30 Minutes further away than this one.
