Ok...deep breath...here I go!
I am considering the idea of possibly getting in to eventing.
A few key points to understand about me:
So...I guess I'm looking for a bit of encouragement and advice on how to start on such a journey! I have no aspirations to get to any particular level at this stage. I really just want to dip my toe in the waters. Kind of a bucket list sort of thing.
I am considering the idea of possibly getting in to eventing.
A few key points to understand about me:
- I'm 47 and have not had consistent riding lessons for any length of time. So I really know nothing about dressage or jumping.
- I have 2 horses in my backyard, neither are showing material, even at the lowest-of-the-low levels. One is a mid-20's pasture puff, the other a big honkin' draft cross.
- I've always loved watching the sport and ages ago used to volunteer at horse trials held at the USET HQ here in NJ. Boy what fun that was!
- DH is a triathlete and is constantly encouraging me to do SOMETHING with horses beyond taking care of my 2. And has said that he'd be all over helping me out, the way I do when he's competing and training.
