A step into the dark side :D

I keep going back and forth. I rode only Western as a kid. Then rode Saddleseat for a year. Then, after 25 years of no riding at all , started back into horses with dressage. 8 years of that, then back to Western, and now am getting back into dressage.
It's fun to change back and forth because it keeps your perspective fresh. Like culture shock when you go to a foreign country, then reverse culture shock when you come back to your own.

Haha! Welcome to the dark side! I used to ride English (dressage, hunter/jumper) and when I came to the barn I'm at now, a lot of the girls rode Western. My trainer and friends talked me into trying a lesson in Western so I did and have never looked back! Well, I do have an occassional lesson or ride in English...I think it helps with my balance and seat...best of luck to you and have fun!

Welcome to the dark side! Home of deep seats, cadillac saddles, soft relaxed gaits, and bling bling bling! Good luck and happy trails!
