Hi,
I have one soon to be 2 horses. They are multi talented, doing dressage and hunters. I am pretty new to the area, but am really frustrated!
I had posted b4 about getting changes put on one of them (thank you for responding)… I checked with one (who is gone to florida) and will follow up with another; it may be more permenant of a need. The barn we are at- I specifically told the owner that I was getting one or two more horses. After numerous promises to hold a stall- well the dollar won out and the barn is full with a waiting list (sigh). I have a horse being vetted right now and shipping down from east coast after the blizzard.
We live West of the city, think “katy” area. With the “new” highway 99, it is easier to manuver to Tomball and other places up that way but I have no idea what is up or over there…
Ideal:
-a couple rings, one that doesn’t have fences set up in it all year (hard to do a half pass with a fence in the way).
-Trainer there that has proven ability to put changes on a horse in a short time frame (the horse is nearly there, so it’s not a green thing)
-near trails or not landlocked facility- can go out and ride around - maybe a xcountry course?
-not really looking for a “clubby” barn- I work full time and don’t have the time to spend going to “barn” events (sorry if that sounds odd, but where we are now, it’s kind of - OOO let’s all get together for …)
- it would be cool to be able to jump without having to be in a lesson. Not talking GIANT fences but cavalettis…
-Turnout with a pasture that actually is growing grass and not weeds (looks green but on closer inspection, there is no grass at all and horses just stand around miserable).
