    So I figured out what im doing with life!

    Im so exciited that i've finally figured out what im doing with my lfie!! Im going to finish my coaching levels for horseback riding, go to school for buisness and open my own riding facility. I want to offer riding lessons as well as outreach programs. I want to try and have apts or something at the farm where I can take in street kids.. I will teach them to work at the farm and offer them riding lessons as well as offer a small weekly pay. Im hoping it will help them realise there is something in life to work for. Im also thinking I want to offer theraputic riding as well and some other programs. There isnt anything that i know of around here so im hoping it will work. I still have a lot of contacts in the industry. Plus my mom is a vocational support worker so I have her help as well as my friend whos a social worker. I know its a long term thing but I have my goal finally. So im going to get back into riding next month to finish my levels and get things started. Im so excited I just had to share

    LoL georgia... I can ride up to medium level dressage and SOME prix st george moves... I actually LOVE riding it on a trained horse.. but I have a hard time teaching it to kids and people who dont understand it. I ride intermediate level eventing so I have to do it and when I had my mare sent to a grand prix trainer it made a HUGE difference in our jumper courses. I was even able to ride her cross country in an eggbutt snaffle vs the gag I used to have to use on her before her training. So umm yea I enjoy it to some extents lol. I just prefer to be galloping across feilds and jumping log piles and ditches

    Thanks everyone for the support I cant wait to get things started. Im DYING to sit on a horse again after a year off.

    I used to teach the severe and profound mentally and physically handicapped. A local riding facility hosted special days each month for children with disabilities. It was an awesome program. Good luck with your dream.

    Oh man I love teaching dressage. I would cringe every time I taught little girls on ponies to jump (isn't it awkward soothing the kids who get bucked off when their parents are right there watching? damn little devil ponies). haha, and I could perfect my fake german accent. I would totally be your resident DQ.

    LoL Sounds like the pony I trained a few years ago. He would be doing his pony hunter rounds and in the middle of the course just stop dead and explode into massive bucking sprees, kid goes flying, pony kicks kid, pony runs away, kid cries. It took me about 5 months to cure him of this bad habbit.

    I LOVE devil ponies!!! I used to own three

    i know, i love them too!! when i was back at my big barn in la i used to get to school all the ponies because i was the smallest "adult." i don't know why, but something about that snotty pony attitude is so endearing

    i would have worked on "bon jovi" too; i think she's got a ton of potential. but the lady i work is too frusterating. between her ignorance, know it all attitude and the sad condition of this barn, it's an uphill battle i'm not willing to engage in. still, i hate seeing good horses go to waste. hopefully she'll be sold to a better home...

    That sounds like a very admirable thing to want to do. Animals profoundly change disadvantaged kids. In fact farms in general do.

    It would do some of these kids a world of good to get away from the deplorable conditions they often live in!

    I work with 2 friends who are basically full time on such farms...one owns, one is a super volunteer (both sites are nonprofits...consider it). I also am on the board of 2 nonprofits...anything I can help you with just let me know

    Good luck. I like the way you think of pursuing a greater good through a personal love. The world would be better if more folks thought like you.
