Ok, so I am going to get my ar*e into gear this spring and get my flippin confidence back! I am having a few lessons as I have not ridden at home due to the weather like some others on here. I have a few options with where to start and wondered if you would give me your opinions on the best one, or just or preference.
Option 1
Send Sam to get 1 weeks schooling, then take a week of work and go and get lessons on him every day for a week at the same place. So have him there for 2 weeks, having lessons and hacking out. Then take him home and get lessons weekly after that for a few months.
Pro's - Concentrated effort in the school and hacking out
Cons' - We would go to the RC, not staying at home, we get comfy in someone elses surroundings rather than 'real life' at home
Option 2
I get a good RI to come and school/ride/hack Sam in our own surroundings, every day for a week, then I take a week off and have hacks and lessons with RI for another week. Then lessons weekly to keep the momentum!
Pro's - We both school/hack in our own surroundings so when we are on own my confidence will be good.
I dont have to find a companion for Minnie while he is gone
Sam stays settled in his own home
Con's - we dont have a school but plenty of areas to hack and school in field
I have a preference but not at the expense of getting going again so will take on board everyones comments:wink:
