This week I can ride any time but Monday and Tuesday....Monday I took a day off work since a friend got a couple free tickets for A-Basin (a ski resort here in Colorado) My hubby doesn't like skiing so it's a nice treat to go with those that do and on a weekday too! Then Tuesday I have my hot stone massage after worked (that was rescheduled from Sunday when I realized I'd be skiing on Monday, smart thinking aye?) So anyways Laurie replies that she can give me a lesson on Monday or Friday...Saturday she's booked. Uge. I know it's not her fault, she has more students now which is great but with one horse that is rideable, dancing lessons and rehearsals that her daughters and her are committed to, then of course my schedule/hubby schedule on top of it...the number of days a week that would work out are VERY limited. Most times something comes up on Fridays but I'm gonna go ahead and make this Friday available so I can get some horse time in!
2006 Gelding for sale (bad pic his video is nice), has won multiple top 5's and 1st places in Sport horse in hand and Breeders Cups. He's only $3500 or best offer Of course the rescues will come first in my search but he's one of the many others! |
***Oh I so have to post about Vantage Point Farms asap! Very nice stable that I think has made it as my TOP choice in boarding facilities! VERY NICE!!!***
Then there is this cute guy who is already trail savy and endurance ridden! |
So anyhow, back to the lessons, I'm gonna set up a Friday lesson with Laurie and see what else after that I can schedule. I have a gal up in Monument that teaches dressage principles and has a nice Arab gelding I can ride...I told her about my accidents and fear of canter and what I need to work on, so we'll see. All in all, this just sums up that I need my own horse that I can ride when ever I want and whenever works. There are several geldings that I'm really dying to email the owners about but I need to get Cancun paid for (we go in late July but will pay for it in March....so excited!!) and then this one bill paid completely off before I let myself start looking. At least I have about $200 in gift cards from Dover Saddlery to help pay for my new Wintec saddle I'm looking at for "future horse". I'm glad that it seems I'm on the last turn before the homestretch!!

I can see why yous frustrated, even if it isn't Laurie's fault. I don't think it would be bad to try to find someone who is more capable of working with your schedule!
You're getting so close!!!
Yeah I still feel bad, since my scheduled changed from the four day work week my friday lesson doesn't work. I can ride at about 5:30 or 6pm in the evenings, I hate having a lesson on a Friday since I just want to relax after a long work week. My preference is Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday...those days work the best. Saturday morning lessons are fine but as I get closer to buying a horse my weekends will be booked with horse shopping and then once I have my horse I'll be wanting to work with them not a lesson horse so I'll need a training who can come to me.
We shall see the one thing I need to work out right now is a consistent at least one day a week lesson. We'll see what Laurie and I can figure out, if it doesn't work right now it doesnt work... She's just such a great instructor...
