Showing western and sister troubles

[QUOTE=Flash44;8019953]
I absolutely agree with OverandOnward. You are very kind and considerate to look at the situation from your sister’s eyes. For whatever reason, she feels territorial about the western division, in a “Marsha Marsha Marsha” kind of way.

Are you the older sister? Maybe she constantly feels overshadowed by you, which can be very normal. Can you pick maybe one western class to do if you really want to stretch out a bit, ie trail or horsemanship? Can you do something totally different, like obstacle courses or judged trail rides? Good luck with your situation.[/QUOTE]

Thanks, and yes I am older. She does more of the ranch stuff, I would do the western pleasure. Plus we’re separated by age.

You’ve posted this before, you got lots of replies. No one can make the decision for you - it is time to put on your big girl panties and decide what you want to do.

If your sister is a bully toward you, it doesn’t matter if it is this issue or some other issue. If you let her dictate how you live your life, you will regret it and she will have control over you. Do you want to live your life like that? It is hard to deal with confrontation, but the time to do it is now if you want to live your own life. If you want to live the life that she wants you to live, then you will be a very miserable person indeed.

I think I said “live your life” enough, but sometimes there’s just one way to say things!:lol:[/QUOTE]

You’re right. Thanks.

Ask your sister for help. She is the experienced one in that field so ask her to instruct you. Hopefully this will lead to her rooting for you as well.

I think you’ve gotten very good advice on this thread.
