So I am 15 yrs old, I am a junior in high school, and I am on the verge of getting a soccer scholarship at some colleges. I also love to ride and I am taking lessons right now. I only go once a week and for us it is expensive considering I have 3 older siblings in college. Only $50 for a lesson. My dad and mom keep saying I need to work on my soccer more to get to the fitness of a Division 1 college. Anyways some weeks I can’t go because soccer is in the way and then the day I want to go to the barn my mom is saying no we have so much work to do and no one can take you, even though one of my sisters can. I really love riding and horses and I want to go more often. I know I have so much more to learn about riding and horses. Whenever I go I feel so unfit. I can barely get the horse going my legs shake and then my dad expects me to jump higher. I tell him do you want me to get hurt.
I need ways to convince my parents to let me go out more. Riding and being out there makes me so happy and I want to go so much more. Even if I don’t ride and I just hang out there and help they won’t let me if we have work to do. At our house we always have work to do. Also school and the SAT.
Whenever I go out to soccer they let me whenever I want to go ride they don’t let me. I want to get more fit and start making progress in my riding.
Question: Any books or websites that have information on riding and horse care and everything about them. List some if you know some.
Thanks
Well I think your parents are very concerned about you getting a possible scholarship in college with soccer, however, there are many great equestrian teams in college. You can start looking into school with a very good Equestrian Team. I was in a similar situation, except I was involved in volleyball instead of soccer. But I let my guardians know I was very serious about it and I wanted to prove to them that I knew what I was doing. So I got involved with the barn and did my research. Check out these websites

You need to get it across to your parents that you are very serious about it. Equestrians teams pay good money with scholarships if you are a good rider. I got a full scholarship myself in college.
Also with your work at home, try to do it early in the morning like before school or something so you can free up your afternoons and evenings.
Anymore questions you can email me. It’s on my profile. Good luck!
i’m going to go try a 16.2 horse tomorrow and i’m now riding my 13.2 pony. zip (my pony) has a big stride … has no trouble getting a regular 12ft canter stride but its still going to feel funny. grant (the horse) also really likes to extend his stride. so how should i prepare myself for riding grant??? i don’t want to get there and be super awkward on him and bounce around like i did when i was first learning how to ride. i don’t have any access to horse right now because i’m at my grandmother’s but i do have videos of him
my other question is what do you think of him over all??? the rider on him sucks soooo it looks kinda funky but he handles her very well even though he is only 6! he is a warm blood quarter horse cross!

Well in my opinion riding a bigger horse is different, especially if your not used to it 
I’m only 5′2 and have been an apprentice jockey, so I can and have ridden bigger horses. I have also always owned at least one TB at a time as my personal riding horses for dressage and previously jumping.
A bigger horse takes a much bigger seat to ride effectively and usually stronger leg muscles. So you just need to be prepared that the bigger horse may not be as responsive in the beginning. It will come as your body adjusts to riding the bigger horse.
I have always found it harder to apply leg aids to big solid TB’s, it takes so much more seat for me to get them to engage their hind quarters and listen to me.. LOL
But as I said, it is certainly doable if you go into it with a positive mind set and attitude. Sit deep in the saddle and drive him forward into the contact.
I watched two videos. If your the same level rider as the girl or better then you will have no issues at all. Just be confident in your ability.
The jumping video was a odd, because he looked a bit off to me? Perhaps his lack of schooling? I thought the girl did an ok job. He looks like a fairly easy horse to ride and looks pretty laid back and relaxed. He certainly was not trying to take off on her at any point and was very well behaved.
He does not look like he has been given much foundation work, of grids or bounce combinations. He lacked the ability to judge distances very well, but when he got it right he looked good.
The flat work video (showing?) looked much better. He is still a fairly easy horse to ride by the looks of this and he should not be difficult to control. It will make your first ride much easier I would assume, to adjust to the transition to a bigger horse.
If his rider had been able to sit his canter I would have been much more pleased. I have a feeling he would have collected nicely.
Over all he seems to be a nice horse. If your buying, good luck. If not, then have a nice ride. Take your time and relax!
Good luck
