So, i've been riding for 4 years now, and I finally managed to convince my parents to let me have a horse for the summer! I started when I was 10, and I'm 14 now, so they actually think that I'm capable of taking care of one! I have already put up an aplication for one at my riding school, and i've chosen the horse that almost nobody (except me) likes, so I've got some good odds. I will be living with my grandma on weekdays and take the buss home on weekends so i'll still se my parents. My grandma lives in a different city, but my dad's cousin lives there and she's got a ranch with two other horses, and both my grandma and her have like 40 years of experience over me. But I'm just wondering, how do I get the most out of this? The ranch has a paddock and an indoor riding space ( i forgot the word) and theres a great forest nearby. Anybody have any good tips of fun activities?
Update: So, I have applied now! The last application day is 15th of april, so im guessing i'll get to know if i get to have the horse sometime in may! I have a friend who'll also be having a horse, but she'll be in a different city :(. I will let you guys know when i know which horse im having!!!
Update 2: YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!! The riding school I'm applying at said yes! The horse I originally asked for is lame, but they said I could get another horse, named Pride! The horse i applied for might even come with, and be at the stable so that she wont be alone at the riding school all summer!!! Currently shopping for stuff like brushes and some accesories! The riding school will give me essentiall tack, but I want some stuff to match her coat colour, she is chestnut and white, so I'm wondering what kind of colours would go well?
