Well, I like the main trainer who teaches me from the ground but she
can no longer ride due to back issues. The riding trainer is a young
vetrinarian student who is great with the jumping. She reminds me of my
previous trainer in CA in that she wants to get the job done and
expects her tried and true methods to work, well my horse does not fit
the blue print at times my last trainer had bridling issues with my
horse although she was excellent with any riding issues. I know this
riding trainer is good with jumping and I need her to build Tula's
confidence over larger fences before I ride them. So I think the pros
still outway the cons. But I do have the same thoughts...
