If you are on your own the road can seem very long and lonely.
It can also be rather scary. It doesn’t have to be this way.
It is nice to have company with whom you can share, discuss, laugh and from whom you can learn. We do not learn everything from our teachers we also learn from our friends and their experiences. So maybe you and your horse are not part of a livery yard or riding club, perhaps you keep your horse in a field near your house but you are on your own.
Would you like to be on a Pathway towards a career or would you just like the Challenge of improving your knowledge about your Horse or your Riding. Would you like to feel Safe on that road. So how can you find a companion for your journey along that lonely road. Well start with looking for one. You can contact me I am happy to join you. You may know another person who feels the same. I may know someone else who is trying to start their journey so we are up to four already. We could meet up at a way point (a yard, your yard, a café or as a last resort a pub) we can have a chat and journey on together

We may as individuals go along some different tracks but we can then meet up again where the tracks join.
If you would like to go along the BHS Pathway you could start with the Ride Safe award to help you stay safe on the roads you will need this award to complete Stage 1, these two awards can be taken even if you are still at school.
Ride Safe is also a Silver Award in the Challenge Awards. If you would like to attempt the Challenge Awards remember that Silver Awards give you entry to Stage 2 units i.e. Silver About the Horse gives entry to Stage 2 Care, Silver About the Rider gives entry to Stage 2 Ride.
Gold Riding Out plus Ride Safe gives you entry to Ride Leader 2 in the Riding Out Pathway which could lead to summer or gap year jobs at home or abroad. These jobs usually mean you are riding in a lovely area meeting a variety of people who you have time to get to know.

If you are interested in any of the above and would like to find out how to proceed or would like coaching in any of the above why not leave comments or likes or why not share. Maybe you know someone from another livery yard or riding club . I can come to you individually or perhaps we can find some like minded people to meet up as a group. I am based on the Staffordshire/Shropshire boarder but am happy to travel further and to do hourly, half day or full day. for individuals or groups. Remember the clocks change this weekend so we also have evenings available now.
My full contact details are on my home page I would love to meet you and start you along the journey.
