So, since most instructors will want at some time to ride their student's horse, I would be very careful about who I took lessons from and (unless, I suppose, if she were internationally recognized) I would not take lessons from someone I had not seen ride many different horses.

Hi Nancy, I totally understand and agree. The early phases to getting to know a trainer or instructor is almost like the early stages of dating! One has to make small leaps of faith and trust a little bit in order to try to work with anyone new, but I try to be careful and do it only as I'm comfortable. It's really touch and go at first, to say the least. Karen Thomas, NC
