Hello, I am from texas and I am moving to switzerland in the next couple weeks. I need a good barn, and it would be even better if I had someone that spoke pretty good english and german to teach me the terms like saddle, girth....ect. I would love to come out and try out this barn. I have been riding 5years solid, all sizes and personalities. I rode a really lazy horse for my beginner horse riding life so I won't put up with a horse that doesn't listen. :P I've never fallen because a horse spooked/reared/bucked/bolted and the first time I fell off was because I didn't want the pony to take off with me so I jumped off because I was a beginner and I knew I could easily fall and get hurt. Then the second fall was with a horse that was taking off for a jump and then in the middle spooked and ran the other way. And until I opened my eyes i had no idea I even fell. Then the third time I fell it was 120 F and I was in the middle of a coarse with the really lazy horse I used to ride and the horse knew I wasn't paying attention and he did the slowest ride by ever (I know that's how out of it I was haha). The last time I fell was this year, and I was riding this old horse that sometimes gets tired and trances, I had been cantering around the ring and then my trainer wanted me to go over the cross rail so instead of stopping in the middle of the ring like I always do when I'm about to jump I went ahead and just went for the cross rail. So he was in a trance and didn't notice that we were going over the jump and he tripped and fell. Neither one of us were hurt too badly, he was just really sore for a couple weeks and then he was fine. Now this doesn't mean I want to ride a horse that will kill me, but just to let you know that I'm a pretty good rider. Though I do think that it would be nice just to ride a good horse to focus on correct riding because I've been riding too many problem horses in the past years and developed some bad habits. Though its fine, I'll live with whatever I get. It be great to try out your barn! please let me know! thanks
