Okay long question made short, I have the chance to work for someone I love to work for only 1 to 1 1/2 hours a day just before I go into work a TSC, well the job would be feeding horses one day  and riding the rest only 5 days of work (only located 5 min away from where I live). Well for doing this I could make about 30 dollars a week or I could get free lessons(she charges $35 an hour per lesson and I'd be taking about two or three a week around $400 amonth I'd pay) for dressage and jumping something I've always wanted to do. And I could take Regan with me sometimes and start to train her. Well I would be taking Regan to the baby sitters an hour earlier than planned which is her grandparents so it cost nothing.

Well my other choice is to not take it at all and just ride my god parents horses when and if I ever get the chance which is an hour drive away I see them maybe once every two months and never ride since it is usually to hot at that time. What would you do?

Daniel says it will be to stressful and take up to much time, but horses calm me down, I will get back into shape like I was before I quit riding after I had Regan, and I would be so relaxed and happy all the time horses just do that to me. And for some odd reason lost all my confidince I had when I was riding after I quit.

You can always try it out for a while and see how it goes.

I think you should go for it! I have a sweet horse, Magnum, but he's boarded 45 minutes away. I'm trying SO hard to move him closer. Do you know how long it's been since I've ridden? TWO MONTHS!! If you've got a chance to regularly ride and be around the horses you obviously love, GO FOR IT!! Have fun!

I agree with the others. You've answered your own question. Now go do it.

Ya'll are so right I miss riding and showing my horses so much, and Dressage/Jumping has always been a lifes ambition to learn. There is no why I could turn this down, I'm lucky enough to find a trainer that is this great that I actually can call a friend as much as anything. I'll show pictures and give an update once I start with it.

I've gone and decided to do what I've always wanted to do!!! Well yesterday was my first time back on a horse in around three years at first I was really nervous I've never done Dressage before and it is completley different from any thing I've ever done . I am so excited I was able to trot without stirups and do the jumpers postion at a fast walk(this is very hard to do with out the proper muscles built up.) Funny thing was after I was done I could barley walk my legs were shaking so bad. But I havent felt this happy or relaxed in such a long time. But I'm glad to know that I was able to ride for a  good while still without the pain I though I would have to day. Just thought I'd catch  y'all up!!!!

WAY TO GO! I miss riding. My friend has a horse and said I could ride anytime but with my luck lately I'm afraid of falling off and getting hurt.
