Hi all,
I’m moving to the Ipswich, MA area for a job in the next month or so, and am looking for a barn which has lesson horses available.
I have a great situation where I am; I get to lesson with a wonderful instructor, often with other adult amateurs. I ride in lessons twice a week, and school a few horses for my instructor outside of lessons a few times a week. I do a few low level event shows a year on school horses. I know I am very, very lucky, and I likely won’t be able to replicate all of the aspects I love about my current barn.
I will be working in Ipswich, and have not found a place to live ( ), but plan to be within 30 minutes of my work there. I’d like to stay in eventing if possible, but dressage/some jumping would be a backup. Most of my riding is dressage these days, as I mostly lesson on an older horse.
I don’t need anything fancy, and a relaxed atmosphere is a huge plus. I would need a lesson horse, as I am horseless at the moment, and being able to ride outside of lessons, such as a part lease option, would be another bonus.
Bottom line:
Does anyone know of any eventing/jumping.dressage barns in the area? Any other input on being a rider in the area? I’m from about 4000 miles away, so any advice is greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
