I've just discovered that I can create a diary here to keep you all updated instead of clogging up my original post!
So my name's Jacob, I'm 20 and originally from somewhere much further South than my current location on the Tyne. I moved up here to train as a deck officer on board ships that serve the offshore oil and gas industry. I spent 5 months working in Brazil this year, and should be off to sunny Aberdeen for 12 months at some point in the not too distant future.
I've always enjoyed active outdoors hobbies, I was in the scouts and the Army Cadets and when a friend of mine suggested I give riding a go I thought aye why not!
On Sunday I had my 4th? ( not 100% sure ) lesson and so far I've done stopping and starting, turning, trotting, 20m circles and the Serpentine thing. I'm thoroughly enjoying it and looking into all the different disciplines to see what I can progress towards!
I'm also trying to set up a blog more centred to my job and well as riding so I'll link that on here as and when its up if anyone is interested!
Thank you for making me feel welcome!
