Hi! My bf and I are going to visit the city next week. We are looking for some coffee shops for our mornings and fun bars to go at night. (And any other recommendations are appreciated!)
I’m looking for something very specific 😅
I’ve taken a 3 year break from riding (due to college and being burnt out) but I’m looking to get back into riding. While I am a little rusty, I was schooling second level. I am currently on summer break from college.
I’d love to find a half-lease or someone looking to give their horses some extra rides. I am willing to take lessons and would also consider a work to ride situation.
Just looking for some leads. Anywhere between Oxford to West Chester!
Edit: I should add I am not looking to jump, just dressage/flat.
Hi, not sure if this is allowed here but I am a horse deprived girl. It’s been 3 years since I’ve ridden and I am more than ready to get back into it. I took a longer than expected break due to being in college amoungst other things. I had a trainer who sort of killed my joy of riding. She taught me a lot and provided me with many talented horses to learn from, but I became a burnt out teenager.
Taking this break was hard, but it was much needed. I get emotional just thinking about all of this. I think of younger me and how upset she would be that I don’t own a horse and I’m not competing like I once was. It’s hard knowing it will take me a long time to get back to where I was. But the part that is the hardest for me is I have no clue where to go and how to get back into it.
I laugh at myself because I think I could get on and ride like I never missed a day. I know that’s not the case but I like to pretend. I’ve had my days of eventing and breaking in ponies for kids. I miss my old trainers mare who sadly passed, she was quite fancy and taught me how to really ride. But anyways, some of it has to be muscle memory right? 😅
Ideally a half-lease would be great, even when my classes start again. Or maybe someone has a horse that needs some extra rides or a horse on the back burner. Any tips on how to find a situation like this? Anyone going/go through similar situation? How do you navigate this?
My first big girl purchase! 2025 Carbon Edition with 3,000 miles.
Coming from an old beater car, this is definitely an upgrade! I've been looking for a few months, and this worked out perfectly. Shoutout to the dealership because they made my first buying experience very pleasant!
