.....and if so -do you find you are able to get enough riding in around all the lessons that are going on?
Casper is at a really nice riding school/livery yard - I think there are probably about 50 liveries there. It's a massive yard with 2 outdoor schools, massive indoor, XC, gallops which is all reflected in the price of the livery - I'm £40 pw for DIY.
Now that winter is here, almost everyone is having to use the indoor and it can be really busy - today I went to school my boy while a lesson was on and it was a nightmare! There were supposed to be 3 people in the lesson and it ended up being 7 which left 8 of us in the school with me trying to stay out of everyones way
Needless to say I wasn't able to do what I wanted to do and spent an hour trying to dodge the other riders.
I'm worried that this may get worse as we get further into winter and I was wondering if anyone else is in a similar position and how they work round it?
Not sure if this will be the way things are in the winter or if I'm just having a moan because I didn't get to school properly. It probably doesn't help that Casper struggles to work on the inside track - he just can't understand why he can't go on the outside track and constantly tries to get back on it or nap at the other horse!
Any advice/experiences?
