Hello everyone!

I've just discovered this wonderful forum after looking for some product reviews. Have to say it seems very friendly and welcoming.

A little about me then. I'm 18 and I live in the West Midlands (UK). I started riding when I was maybe 8 years old, then stopped when I got to GCSEs due to time restrictions. I started again last year, and I'm now in my second year of Equine Management at college. In the future I hope to go to uni for equine science (so if anyone goes to Hartpury please let me know how it is!), and ride as a hobby.

I'm a novice rider desperately trying to improve. I'd like to be able to do my BHS Stage 1 this time next year and do my stage 2 and 3 in uni. I don't have a horse currently, but last summer I loaned a beautiful Andalusian mare. She was my first loan horse and I have definitely fallen in love with the breed! I plan to own once I finish university and settle down, if not sooner. But I have a long list of things I need first.
