I'm thinking about stopping my horseback riding lessons. I like going, and I don't really want to stop, but the barn isn't working for me. They wanted to change my lesson day, and it doesn't really work for me to do that. Especially because they aren't having it on a specific day anymore. Tuesday was the best day for me to take it because of my schedule. They don't want to do it on Tuesday anymore, so last week I didn't have a lesson at all and this week it's tonight, stopping me from finding friends to hang out with tonight or finding something to do with myself period. And I don't know if they'll have a timeslot for me next week either, so I might have to skip next week too.
I'm going to talk to them tonight before my lesson, tell them this isn't working for me. I don't even know if I want to work anything out with them. The person who was teaching my lessons on Tuesday was just not working well to begin with. I just don't feel like she was helping me all that much. She never really yelled at me or anything, but she would tell me conflicting instructions, and then we'd get frustrated with each other when it didn't work.
I think I'm going to quit tonight, spend the fall and winter trying to get into shape, and see what the spring brings me. I haven't been able to catch up on my bills all summer because of lessons, and at this rate, I won't be able to go anywhere next year, just like I wasn't able to go anywhere this week. I love going places on my vacation, and I don't want to sacrifice these things. I'd rather sacrifice my lessons.
I really wasn't working towards anything specific. It was just about having fun and enjoying myself. There's places around here where I can pay to go on trail rides every now and then that won't be too expensive and it'll still be fun. Much more relaxed too.
I think that's what I'm going to do. That feels right. Quit, go for a trail ride every now and then, and save my money for going on vacation. And hey, I can always go back if I change my mind. Or even find a new place to ride.
I really want to go to England next year, and that's going to cost a pretty penny.
