"My Stable is very strict so i am good but i hope others find this helpful! cause i did!"

I know I’m commenting on an old video but I actually take lessons with two people. The first one I really like and she starts out slow and she told me that all trainers should have a trainer themselves and she does. She started me out slowly by tacking up and walking first lesson. She mainly does dressage which I am interested in. The other trainer does not have a trainer but she focuses on jumping which I want to do. But the second trainer started me out on trotting my first lesson which I was not expecting. Her horses are plow reined which I don’t care for as much. The horse I rode was 27 years old and when I got on him he stepped backwards and his neck slammed my helmet(luckily I had one on). She told me he does that almost everytime. And he only trotted for like 10 seconds then walked and wouldn’t go when I gave him cues and asked him to. The only thing is I want to jump aswell as dressage but the first trainer does not do jumping at all, I’m not sure if I should just stick to the first lesson instructor or keep doing both.

I love where I’m taking lessons at right now, I love the trainer and the horses, and they’re SO well taken care of. My problem is, in the lessons I do the same routine every time, and it’s feeling monotonous. I don’t want to leave, but I also want to be challenged. Any advice?

Getting a qualified instructer is alway a good idea as well
