I will often pay for all or part of bodywork session for my lesson horse of the moment. While I am sometimes lukewarm on the modalities chosen, that is the program the horses are in, so I support it.
This makes me sound kind and charitable. I confess to an element of ‘What have you done for me lately?’
Lessons? A local show? I’ll offer to split the fee. Recently paid for a half session for Andre. [Summer Showing]
Fancy ribbons from a big show? Bring it on. Back in 2017, paid for full sessions for both Dottie & Snippy after Nationals. [NACHS 2017, Riding, NACHS 2017, Driving]
I should add that I have never felt the slightest suggestion that I am required to contribute to the upkeep of lesson horses. This is me approving of bodywork and sticking my nose in.
Onwards!
