My Riding Instructor Won't Let Me Do Canter Jumps Because Everyone Else In My Class Can't Do Them!?

Question

I go to pony club every Saturday and have been for the past two years which can be quite expensive. I feel as if I am not learning much because when I ask to do something such as canter jumps my instructor just says "No, dont be silly!" I am the only person in my group that can canter or do big jumps so basically I am wasting my time and money on walking and trotting around a school with people who do not have much experiance in riding. How can I show my instructor that I am very capable of much more as I realy love riding and horses and would hate to give it up! =[

Answer 1

you've been going for 2 yrs and he is still making you do the same old c**p? I think he is taking the p**s by keeping you at a low level, to keep you there so he can get more money out of you.

Answer 2

It's called LEVELING...

And it sucks... but - it happens.

Answer 3

that is a sad story, brought a tear to my eye

Answer 4

you've been going for 2 years and you havn't started jumping in canter?

go to a different riding school!

Answer 5

i also ride, maybe you should get a one to one lesson with a different instructor or finding another session where there are more skilled people

talk to a family member and ask them to look around for a higher leveled one

i know there are plenty of pony clubs that do canter jumps

hope i helped lv char x
