Good coaching makes ALL the difference! I'm 50, and have been fortunate to have great coaching and mentors who care about their students, and their horses. I am making progress! I think you are right - there are no short cuts in the long run. Most of all, I am having fun, enjoying the journey, and loving my horses. PS: Ian and Eddie are two of my heros!!

Yes, beginners need good coaches. When I got my first horse I had 3 months of instruction from pretty good BHSI full instructors. They taught me a good bit, some of which I still use. Then I had one week (7 days) from a most wonderful and effective lady coach. Her influence completely changed the way I rode for the rest of my life (yes, Forward Seat.) I now have a wonderful coach who took me (withing the limits of my MS) from being a decent rider to being a good rider in the FS even though she…
Yes, beginners need good coaches. When I got my first horse I had 3 months of instruction from pretty good BHSI full instructors. They taught me a good bit, some of which I still use. Then I had one week (7 days) from a most wonderful and effective lady coach. Her influence completely changed the way I rode for the rest of my life (yes, Forward Seat.) I now have a wonderful coach who took me (withing the limits of my MS) from being a decent rider to being a good rider in the FS even though she does not ride FS herself (she has an extremely effective balanced seat she teaches.)<br />
I have had only 2 really effective coaches, 2 decent coaches (the BHSI), and most of the rest I took lessons from were good general teachers of riding but who could not adapt their system to my undiagnosed handicaps. I even had one coach I tried who told me she could not teach me anything on the flat when I really could have used some help. I stopped taking lessons from her.

.I am enjoying re-reading these blogs William, some very pertinent observations. I've always thought it silly that at most pony clubs (in this country at least) the youngest riders or beginner group are taught by the beginner coaches!! I know I've always enjoyed those classes the most, and have insisted on having a beginner class each time I go to a new club.

I know I've always enjoyed those classes the most, and have insisted on having a beginner class each time I go to a new club. The other day one of my pupils parents told me that at their club , she asked the president if the Level 2 Coach that comes as a volunteer could teach the little kids once in a while. The reply just about floored me, " Oh no, she is much to important to teach the beginners" .
