Treading carefully. How do you do it?
So, I was wondering how everyone would handle this situation. Okay, my first hypothetical situation is lets say you have an amazing coach, he is wonderful at instructing you and has significantly furthered your riding (and continues to do so). You buy a horse and you find out that neither you nor your horse like how the coach rides, its not what your horse needs, but its expected that your horse will be ridden by said coach as they are the only trainer on the property and the horse is supposed to be their specialty (i.e. they're 'really good' at training babies and your horse is a baby). What would you do? Would you avoid the situation? Quietly discontinue the coach riding? Tell the coach? Find a new trainer? Stay on the property? Move stables? How would you handle it if you wanted to still be taught by the coach but didn't want him riding your horse? Or would you say that there are many fish in the sea and find a new coach & trainer that suit you and your horse?
I love hypothetical situations I had another one regarding being careful in the horse industry but it alludes me...I know I'll remember it tomorrow at school or in the shower or somewhere weird like that.
