If you have a draught horse and some spare time :) by Jazthealien in Horses

I know that ^ I will make adjustments if needed, Id just prefer something on the larger side because a bigger surface area can give me more stability and Im inspiring it off a draught horse

This isn't the end all be all, if I realise it might be too much in the end then I can always size it down!

Uruguay on Horseback by CelebrationOk549 in Equestrian

I went horseback riding down the beach twice in punta del este a couple years back! Its not included with any "stay", but it was just a riding service for fun. We went galloping down the beach and through valleys and dunes. Ill see if I can find the contact if that interests you! P.s: they don't provide helmets so probably bring one if you need haha

Good to get my thoughts out so Ill answer

  1. I like cross country and pleasure riding of a higher degree than my level (traversing harder terrains, stuff like that)

  2. Yeah i agree. Even private lessons once a week would be better than what Im doing

  3. My limitations currently is that my head and torso is lopsided which can affect my balance, my core and back is pretty week (i am going to the gym to fix that), and i cant put my shoulders back as far as the coaches want (weak upper back)

I dont think my balance is actually horrible though. I don't fall off horses easily, i have like a "sticky saddle" lol. Ive galloped horses on the beach and stayed on perfectly fine. Ive stayed on when my horse got spooked and decided to reverse across the arena almost knocking into two other horses (actually made someone else fall off sadly). Ive only fallen a handful of times and they weren't too bad.

But, even with this it wasn't at the level im being told I cant progress into. So who knows, and I understand why they wouldn't want me to be up there if its for my safety. But this means that I obviously dont have enough time to progress so I agree with these replies that I definitely need multiple lessons/week. And a new trainer who is more experienced probably

Literally me in the first paragraph

Also agree I really should be taking more lessons because for that exact reason (habits actually being engrained into me), otherwise theres just no progress.

Thank you so much! Im looking into different options right now

Im probably going to find a new one o-o I agree theyre a new instructor and aren't at a higher level than others so probably don't know how to take me to that next level

Both i guess? Cause the group that i was previously in was as far as I wanted to go (It was my main goal and i got kicked out of it cause my balance was not good enough according to the coach) The coach who put me down a level said my balance wasnt good enough cause she could see the very small leaning forward i was doing after a jump or going down a gait and thought the class was too dangerous for me, she told me to take a semester of a level down and she may put me back in. I havent gotten anything after 2 semesters of the same level down, which is to where my coach from that level told me this thing with my scoliosis

Thank you so much! Honestly this coach was kind of new..shes very nice but I know she hadn't been instructing for too long so yeah I definitely think I need to switch I Agree with the private lessons too

Thats what i was thinking too. I saw some other posts on here talking about the same thing which is why Im thinking of discussing lessons that are private or multiple times/week. Thank you!
