Hi All, this sounds like a very safe place (which can be rare in the equestrian world). I started riding at 6, got my first horse at 13, mourned him at 28, took years away from horses because it felt disloyal, and started riding again about 8 years ago. I ride at a non-profit riding centre so I'm working with lesson and therapy horses who are handled by a variety of people. Giquau has stolen my heart because he was the horse who took care of me while I was pregnant with my youngest son. He's a gentle giant (half draft) who I would literally trust with my life and that of my children. He (and really all the horses) have done so much for me that I want to be the best equestrian I can to give back to them. I look forward to learning and growing in a way that will benefit Giquau (and all the horses I work with). ❤️🐴
