Today I was able to help Kristin school one of the boarders horse, Northside. Northside is a 12 year old Thoroughbred gelding owned by a 13 year old girl. They are currently showing him in the 2’6 hunter divisions. He is a good boy and does a great job at taking care of his owner.  

I love to watch Kristin ride. She is such a beautiful rider and I find that I can learn a lot by watching her. Watching professional ride is very beneficial for armatures. Consider it similar to college basketball students going to an NBA game. They are able to pick up on what they are doing in order to make the game winning shot or how they can improve their defense, all by watching.

Just as it is important for the rider to watch professional ride, it is also important that the horses are ridden by professionals on a consistent basis. The majority of the horses at Wild Wood are ridden by Kristin once a week. This helps keep them up to date on their training.
