How can I, at 21, learn to ride a horse?
October 7th, 2009
I’m a 21 year old British lad who wants to learn to ride a horse. The only thing is there’s just one riding school within a manageable distance from my home, and it is run to cater for all the private school girls who tend to be aged 6-14.
I want to learn to ride but would feel uncomfortable in such an environment- are they any other alternatives for me?
Thanks!
You could pay for private lessons but I think that would be expensive. If I were you I would just go to your local riding school – you will only be embarrassed for five minutes and will then forget about it. If you are going to ride and spend any time around stables you might as well accept you will spend a lot of time in the company of young girls. And being uncomfortable is not so bad – it just means you took a step outside your comfort zone which then means your personal universe is about to grow.

See if you can book a one on one lesson when there are no other classes going on

Most stables provide private lessons at a time of your choice, so you could arrange minimum contact with other equestrians.
