New stable for me

[DorsetMartin]

Hi all, I've started riding lessons at a new stable. It's fabulous, way cheaper too.
It's www.riverdaleriding.com
A mere hour & a half each way from home but what the heck! A huge indoor arean & 4 outside ones. I've had 3 lessons outside already & 2 in. The indoor arena has mirrors so you can check yourself.
I have a half hour lesson @ noon on Saturday so it really cuts into my w/e. But, my teacher is supurb, the horses great especially Shasta, who I've ridden the most.
Next week I'll be able to pay for 10 half hour lessons in advance for $360. When I get better I'll go for an hour which is $51.
My teacher has a wonderful calm attitude & is tough at the same time complementory if you know what I mean. She had 2 handicapped students @ the special Olympics 2 weeks ago one won gold the other silver. So I know I'm in good hands!
Take care,
Martin

But the price of those lessons wheew. each hr lesson is almost how much i send on my horse in one month.

But she must be great.

Congratulations on the new barn. You must love having all that space after coming from Claremont.
Riverdale is supposed to be lovely - we were just talking about it this weekend at my barn. I thought it was more expensive than that - $51 for an hour is a good deal.
Would love to hear about your experiences & pics - I'm always interested in stables in the area.

If you're ever inclined to try NJ - PM me. My barn is only about 15 miles from the city (West Orange, NJ) & has great facilities!

The place looks wonderful! I wish I could board at a barn with all of those rings, a big indoor, and miles of trails too!

How much is that in £ sterling? never can work it out. If its good and you are enjoying yourself, money is the least of it. Bread and dripping all week. L
