Hi Bob and all-
I did therputic horse back riding from 7th grade untill just last year. The
reason I stoped is because the place I was riding at (which has multiple
instructors) kept assigning me to this one instructor..her name was Caroline
who kept talking to me like I was mentally retarded which I did not like.
Who would? I have never been talked down to the way caroline talked down to
me--and I have been around dispite my "young age" as some of you have noted.
It made me really not want to go...even though I love riding...I hate being
treated like I have an IQ of 0...but this instructor treates everyone like
that...I don't know why Equest (the place I road at) hired her because all of
there other instructors are great I had been riding there since 9th grade
and before that when we lived in DC I road in Clifton VA. Carloine dose work
well with those who are mentaly impared though. In fact she is a
co-instructer of there hippotherapy (that's physical therapy on a horse)
program. I was in there theraputic riding program. I was even on the 1994
Equest Exibition Riding Team!
Chears Everyone
