Different people at pony clubs

**This isnt meant to offend or insult anyone, and is truly for entertainment purposes only**

-The profesional: this is the rider who is soo good, and isnt snobby about it.
-The snobby: the rider who thinks their amazing, and critizises others, but really they are just as bad
-the cutie: the rider thats little and cute, and isnt the best rider, but you just want to cuddle them
-the wannabe: they dont like warming up because "we are wasting time" and just wants to jump.
-the unsnobby snob: the rider that complains about the snobbies but its the biggest snob of all.

No ones perfect, everyone is seen differently

Do you know which one you are?

This is most of the people when I do saddle clubs. The people i made are based on theese people, but not specifically the people in the photo

Finding the perfect horse

This isn't only about finding the perfect horse to buy, also if you do lessons and you can choose a horse which on eto choose, part loaning, loaning ect ect.

So first,
DONT BE INTIMIDATED
the horse thats always bucking, throwing people off, not wanting to get ridden, might be the one for you [he was the one for me ;) ]
Don't judge a horse on if its rude because, thats trust issues, if you stick with him and build that trust, 99.99999% of the time, those problems will just fade away.

THINK
"That horse is cute, i like him"
Dont be "that one" , dont judge a horse by its looks. (If its underweight, weak , thats a different story.) Doesn't matter if its a grey or a palomino, doesnt matter if he's tall or short. I ride a little pony, he isnt tiny, but he isnt horse sized, hes cob sized. And he jumps well and is my superstar.

Also what are you doing or want to do or prefer doing , jumping, flat work, hacks...? Dont answer, forget your answer. A rider is supposed to train their horse, it might be hard and boring, but even a olympic jumper started out as a little foal.

TAKE YOUR TIME
You dont have to rush your decision, you dont need to buy a horse "asap", its not an emergency, you dont need to choose which horse you want to loan in a night, it will take time to realize whos perfect for you

FEEL
If you dont feel a conection or a bond, then he, or she, isnt for you. Because riding, its a duet. You cant syncronize or harmonize if you dont understand eachother.

Thank you for reading :)

Horse and Rider

As a equestrian, horse rider, equine addict, we understand that there has to be a bond between horse and rider.

If there isnt a bond, there is no understanding.

Your horse must know you are in charge, but also, that they can trust you, because you will be the one to teach them new things, and to give them opportunities.

If you dont have this, then you cant learn, or get better, because the horse will not trust you to tell them "you can do this jump" "you can gallop around this barrel"

A bond isnt that you "love" your horse, its when you can predict their next move, when you know what your horse can and cannot do.

When you trust the horse and the horse trusts you

He isnt "mine" but he is. I cant say i have my own horse, but i can say I have a horse. Because i have him.
