What makes a riding school good?

Answer 1

A riding school is very essential. You want to look to see if all the horses are in good shape, first off. That means no really sick horses, or anything. Try to find out history of the stable, to know more about it. Next thing you do is you look at the condition of everything. Is the stalls clean, or does it have no hay, and the poor horses are standing in their own manure? Does the riding arena have really deep sand, or have really really muddy type sand? Then go and talk to your intstructors. You want a instructor who knows what she's doing. That means she should know how to tack up, pick hooves, basically groom the horse and care for it. Basically, if the arena, stable, horses, and instructors are great, that makes the Riding School good. See if you could stop in some lessons, or ride in one. Then you'll experience first hand how the horses are, how the instructor instructes, and all that. :]
