Hey all, I have a really cool opportunity coming up where I’ll be in England for all of March and April with minimal school/work commitments. I’ll be in Cambridge while a family member teaches at the university and I’m wondering if anyone has recommendations for the best way to ride while there!
Riding wise I’m coming from somewhat of a unique situation, I haven’t ridden in over a year due to my gelding’s ongoing lameness issues and having 2 other young horses that aren’t yet started. I had to put my gelding down just over a month ago and with fewer board/vet expenses I’d like to get back in the saddle and reconnect with riding. Given that I’m out of shape and likely to be nervous getting back in the saddle I know I’m not a candidate for exercise riding type options and am totally cool with that, just wondering if anyone has any suggestions for learning/riding opportunities while I’m in Cambridge!
I’d really like to hack around as much as I can and if I can lesson and get in shape while I’m there that would be great too. It would also be really nice to find a place where I could do handling type lessons or get some more experience handling young horses or studs, always looking to increase my knowledge base in those areas!
I appreciate any suggestions/recommendations you may have, I’d love to be able to make my trip as horsey as possible (:
