my parents think i'm not experienced enough to ride alone even though my trainer said i was... i have been riding for 7 years and am quite experienced. they think im not ready to jump alone bc i am not ready, but i've been jumping for my whole riding career, what should i do?😖

Well sometimes you have to just listen to your parents and not be so bull headed sometimes. They probably dont want you to get hurt even tho youve been riding that oong. Ive been riding 8-9 years and i have never ridden by myself. If you really want to then just keep pushing and theyll probably pull through.

what should you be looking for as a first horse? like temperament, breed, etc.

low temperment probably a warmblood about 16 hands while you grow probably not too too green and probably like 9-15 years old

what do you think a fair price for board would be?

depends on the barn but if it has an indoor and outdoor and indoor board and outdoor probably like ranging from 500-900 dollars. i think tye best price would be like 300 but you might not get the amneneties you want

tips for looking to buy a horse? where could i find a horse that doesn't cost too much? (max 1600)

i would look at your local dover or greenhawk for ads an i also know that online websites like equine now and such you can modify the search results however you want

so i found a rescue horse that has some experience and is broke. i have been riding for 7 years. i would call myself an advanced rider. but i feel like my parents will think i am not ready. what should i do?

Just clearly say what you just said to me!

thank you for your help. the thing is, i look into things too much. i have really bad social anxiety and the barn in making it worse:(

Just believe in yourself and try to have fun riding. Riding a horse is supposed to be fun and joyful. Dont think or care about what others say about you. Dont let them bring you down. Ride that horse and dont think about your life. When i ride its like another dimension that i dont have to think about hard desicions and school and social situations. Right now you may think that life is really hard and the barn is not a place you want to be but just think about all the oppurtunities you will have and all the fun things YOU will do when you become an even better rider than you already are! Look at the barn as a huge opportunity to become something HUGE even though its a lot of money and people look down on you. As you become a better rider people will start seeing you as not someone to look down upon but someone to be nice to and look up upon! Right now friends should not matter the sport should. Make friemds with all the horses cuz thats what i did. Once you get settled in people will start recognizing you and seeing you and saying hi and wont be as judgy as they used to be. Dont care about them, theyre opinions, and what they personally think of you. Care about the horses you ride the amazing sport your in and enjoy riding horses as much as this whole community does! Again im always here if you need me!

i'm lost. i just started taking lessons at a new barn and every one except my trainer looks down on me for not owning and my riding abilities. it's not my fault that i just started a new discipline. and it's really expensive, so i feel bad staying there if i don't enjoy it. i just need some advice.

Well i sort of had this problem when i moved barns a couple years ago. You all like horses and you all have that in common. If you like your trainer and you are learning every time you ride it dosent really matter that everyone looks down on you. What i would recommend is to give it a few months and try to be nice and meet them and get to know them more. I'm best friends with someone from the barn i moved to now for about a year and i never thought we'd have anything in common or be friends at all. it takes time and i understand its an expensive sport and we all have different situations in our life but give it time and enjoy the sport and not the social part for now 😊 good luck and if you have any questions im here if you need me
