Wait, is it one year or a few years?
And @KingRocker4Life don’t take comments about your experience the wrong way. I didn’t see your original post, but we see a lot of people that DO exaggerate about what they can do, it’s not an attack on you or saying that you DON’T have that experience. Just that IF you did, to be careful, because people can get hurt that way. No one knows you or how you ride so we have to throw it all out there in case something does apply 
Take a Red Cross first aid class. The first responder class includes how to deliver a baby, the babysitting class is aimed toward children’s issues, but you never know.
my College roommate was the barn/manager/horse care person at a camp which recruited heavily from that college. She had 6 to 10 kids in her cabin per two week session, but also a roommate who was the kids primary counselor. She was 20.
Two of my trainers have done day camps and recruit from among their existing staff and clients. You might try finding a day camp.
It was 4 years in the now deleted OP on this thread. Hence the confusion, as the other two quotes were only written yesterday.
@RainWeasley thank you for your kind response explaining that to me. I will be careful posting stuff on advice on how to ride. always share what my instructors says, not my opinion. Just what I think that my instructor would say if I asked her the same question.
ok @BWP I am trying really hard not to take your posts about me personally but I don’t like you commenting on questions directed toward be or answering questions FOR me. I will do that myself thank you very much. I have a short term memory disorder and so I asked my mom how old I was since I started riding and she gave me those answers. I am sorry if they are all different but I just asked her and she gave me the FINAL answer:4 years under my belt. So, I am warning you and not joking. DO NOT answer questions for me and do not comment on questions directed towards me before I get a chance to answer. If you do then I will have to contact Mod1 and see if she can get rid of you. OK?!
Goodness.
Threats won’t do much to gain credibility here, or on any other forum.
If @BWP is attempting to answer a question for clarity, it does not reflect upon you. It was not answering “for you”.
Look at other threads, so you can see that this is simply how a “real time” forum works.
Please rethink your tone, as that is currently not giving a very good impression. No one here has attacked you.
@Moderator 1 please could you review this thread and see if you feel it is necessary for me to be got rid of. Many thanks.
There you go OP, to save you ‘warning’ me again.
Despite your shouting, profanity laden posts and general teenage stroppiness, I posted on here in an attempt to keep you from harm. I am old and I have seen too many brave, keen teenagers hurt or put off from riding. RainWeasley responded to my post (they quoted it) and so I responded to them. Forum etiquette suggests that a question after a quoted post is to that person :).
I would think twice before you post this kind of drivel here. Have you read the rules of the COTH forum? It would be wise to do so. Perhaps run your posts by your Mom before you hit the reply button.
It’s worth keeping in mind that while the country is large, the hunter/jumper community is small. Best not to burn bridges and/or build a bad reputation so early in your riding career, OP.
You are very new to this type forum so I will let you know that if you stop posting in a thread you started but deleted the original it will slide down off page 1 into oblivion. Also, when most see a deleted post on the index, they’ll click it to see what they missed, as I just did. More you post on it, longer it stays alive. Each post bumps it up to the top of the page again. And if anybody quotes your posts, they have eternal life unless they are nasty and profane enough for the Mods to get rid of you,
Probably not going to endear you to COTHers to introduce yourself by telling long time contributors how to behave and what to do. You asked, they answered and if you disagree, ignore them. You were the one who asked.
findeight, the OP contained info that was identifying, and the poster was advised to take it down.
I don’t know what issue the OP is having now.
I am sorry guys. And I mean it this time. If I could delete this whole forum thread then I would because I just want to erase it from my mind. can you all forgive my adolescent rage?
Re Adolescent rage; Getting a little hot under the collar will help dry out the area behind your ears.
Keep in mind when teaching that what you perceive your instructor would have said, is not apt for all situations. That’s why some of us have been at this so long.
ok. I see what you all are saying.
It’s all good. We have all made mistakes. Trick is to realize it and move on from it wiser.
I most certainly will do that, thank you!
Ah, you’re fine. No harm done
thank you!
We were all 14 once - might have been a very long time ago for some of us - but its not too hard to remember.
I think the Counseling in Training (CIT) program is a great idea. Might be too late this summer - but who knows. I did this at age 15 at Canp Hazen in Connecticut and loved it. I can’t remember what state you are in, but if you google “CIT program summer camp with horseback riding in ______ (state)” I’m sure you’ll get some hits.
