Born in Sg, survived seven years of IJ, escaped to canada for the miraculous rebirth.. likes to say she found self there, But well when can we reach self actualization? now a waterloo student. 110% horse mad, was practically born on the back of a horse ( or rather wishes she was) horses are my favourite thing.

Riding post

The riding academy where i take lessons now ( at least for a mth or so more) is a VERY different kind of stable....... Yes we all know that each and every equestrian centre is different in it's own unique ways here are just some of the unique ways.....
On the ground stuff

a) It's totally INDOOR- tell me how abt stables are totally 100% indoor?
b)There is no turnout arena
c) They have no daily board/ lesson schedule..... you find out which horse your riding only from the office only 15 mins before your lesson.... not the best idea in my opinion
d)it's self groom and tack, no grooms/ syces to do it for you, which is probably why i take so long to do it myself
e) The keeping of the bridles..... they have a very specific way of hanging it up... never been to a stable like that
f) grooming buckets- horses share grooming equiptment.. dunno if it's very hygienic

Under saddle changes
a)Mounting up-Only done under supervision, we're not allowed to on our own
b) Keeping distances- at least three horse length is not enough, it has to be at least 5, so we're all strung out across the arena. Ok... i'm used to keeping just one or two
c) the instructor is persnickety abt knocking her down....... ok, it would be easier for you to get out of the way than for me to.......i don't purposely want to kill you...
