We all have somewhat different approaches that meet our individual needs, but share the love of riding and make the sacrifices necessary to do it.

You'd think as I'm an older person I'd have lots of time on my hands. Wrong. I'm more busy now than when I had 3 kids at home. So I enjoy a lesson now and then but I do like to work things out on my own also. Luckily I don't have to pay for my lesson because my daughter is an excellent trainer. A bit tough on me sometimes, but I guess she's just getting revenge for all the times she had to clean her room!Grey Horse Mattershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05837575441967937196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528949271317164229.post-62201443450862661272011-01-05T08:12:37.444-08:002011-01-05T08:12:37.444-08:00Love the idea of being longed on the horse.

I have found that I prefer to have a lesson and then work on it on my own before the next lesson. However, I sometimes will request a lesson almost immediately after (the next day or so) if I believe I'm making a breakthrough and want to consolidate it. I am lucky as my riding coach is flexible enough to let me do it this way.TeresaAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05311118900077951863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528949271317164229.post-55596955813796983262011-01-05T04:58:12.290-08:002011-01-05T04:58:12.290-08:00I don't take lessons, but last night I was thi...I don't take lessons, but last night I was thinking about how crazy my monetary priorities are just so I can afford horses. My mother helps out by allowing me to use her farm (thanks Mom!) but still Brian and I have WAY more expenses than if horses were not in my life. Brian encourages me to spend a large chunk of our fun money on horses. I secretly read this as his awareness that one day HE will be involved in horses too!!! I envy your Doug riding with you!juliettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17488138405040629084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528949271317164229.post-73715317452712466372011-01-05T02:20:07.175-08:002011-01-05T02:20:07.175-08:00Lessons are a real treat for sure.
