Hi guys!! I have been riding for 8 years, and 5 of them competitively. I started out at a barn that has a “family” aspect to it, but I had to leave that barn for various reasons. Now I have a wonderful trainer that I wouldn’t give up for anything, but I am looking for another barn with that feel. However, most barns like that have in-house trainers already and are not open to outside trainers. I’m 15, and I hate riding by myself. I’m currently at a barn of all adults that are working during the times that I am riding, and it gets really lonely. Does anyone know of a barn that:
-has girls and/or guys around my age (fun adults are good too… I just love having company) I don’t want the barn to be overrun with kids, but some company would be really nice
-takes good care of horses (full care is necessary as i am in high school and can’t drive myself to the barn yet)
-is or is very close to Franklin (can’t be in Fairview or College Grove… too far)
-is affordable in boarding cost (I’m open to pasture or stall)
I’m not really willing to go over $700/month unless I’m really blown away with the place
-has a full course of jumps
-an arena with good footing and lighting for night time
bonuses:
-trails for hacking or galloping
-indoor arena
Again, I am not looking for a new trainer. I need a barn that will allow her come in for lessons.
Thanks so much guys!
