After so much sadness I wanted to do something I LOVE and stick w/ it no matter how expensive it gets. I start lessons again this wk. Im riding a paint. This instructor is great & he has team penning, roping & reining on his ranch. SO, I'll be learning it all eventually but he wants me to start from the beginning, havent rode in awhile. Wants to sharpen skills before I go to reining. I was back & forth about english or western but my heart lies with western. So I am very exceited. I financially will have a struggle but I'll start slow & work up but at least I'll be riding!

My daughter has bartered for riding lessons for my grandaughter. Once a week they muck out the stalls at the stable in exchange for her once a week lesson. You might inquire.
p.s. Some would not, but my daughter loves this work. Brings her back to her roots and centers her.

Good for you!! Yep, you might try bartering as at least you could be around the horses a bit more.
Happy Trails :-)

That's how we rode for years, sweat equity went a very long way when I was a kid. Might not be everyone's cup of tea, but to horse crazy girls, it was a solution to the problem. Good for you Michele that you are doing something you love!
with a happy heart |

Michele, I'm so glad to hear you're back into lessons! Reining is a kick; it takes a real athlete to do that job. You're going to have a lot of fun!
And *hands on hips* Tracey, why are you mucking but not riding??? |

Thanks, Im really glad also. I can't explain it really but being around horses makes me feel grounded but also less internal. It may sound silly but I like the feeling alot.

Cowgirl up, Michele. So proud of you. Isn't it so calming when you are in the saddle.?
