i need a riding instructor but i'm not really sure what i want...
i'm into NH/Parelli type stuff, and Xander has been started by Dave Stuart (ex 5* Parelli). However i'm not convinced that i want a Parelli instructor as *sometimes* they can get so hooked up on sorting problems from the ground that you pay for a riding lesson and dont actually get a riding lesson... i can check out my dvd's/parelli website etc etc to work on my groundwork, i dont want to waste time/money on a groundwork lesson when i need to work on my/our riding (as Xander is very fresh & green).
but i dont want a traditional BHS instructor either...
can anyone name me a style/type of NH riding that will just let me get on with it and ride?
or someone who might be classed as a bhs instructor but who is easy going and liberal with the way the student wants to learn?
i'm in Stone which is North Staffs, so can consider people West Mids, Staffs, Shrops or even south Cheshire or this side of east mids if they are willing to travel a little if i pay them mileage.
i know what i want but i'm struggling to put it across and i'm not sure there's anyone out there to cater for me except very expensive people who tend to run clinics rather than come out to do lessons!!! :redcarded:
