Trying to decide wether to take group riding sessions...

Post Reply New Topic

The fall session of my therapy Horse Riding is Starting up. Mom promised me I could do two days a week this season. The place I ride suggested a group lesson on Saturday. I was there on a saturday once. it was very crowded and seemed scary. Mom decide one ride on tuesday and one on thursday. I might like to try the group ride, but i'm afraid it will be to hectic and I will mess up and feel bad.

Maybe a few lessons during the week before going on a group ride would give you some experience that can help reduce stress on the days when so much more is going on?

I think that you should go during the week at first, and than try out the group riding sessions.

I think go in the week first. I have ponies and I show them. I hate the actual process of going to the show but when I get there and I am in the ring I kind of go to a place where there is just me and the pony and I can shut out everything around me. Maybe once you are on the horse and riding you will be ok like me! Or if not then at least you tried and it doesn't make you a bad person if you can't do it.
