Up For Debate: The Role of Riding Instructors

Resolved: The only one who can teach you to ride is a horse.

Pro: Riding is all about feel. No amount of third-party yelling will force you to feel until you are ready.

Con: Poor riding is not self-correcting. A good instructor will smooth the bad and highlight the good.

Where do you come down on this question?

Conversation

Non-horsey family member: So what have you been up to?

… Well, Rodney is really starting to be comfortable in his work. His back is doing great. I’m enjoying learning how to long-line with Milton & getting to know him. I’ve been showing a ton. I just had the most amazing lesson …

Me: Nothing much.
