I agree with everything said by others. My experience was and is totally different. I starting riding at age six. I've been to three different barns as a kid. My best friend was Indian. They never got bullied or anything like that ever. Every barn I was at had very nice stable hands, riders and trainers. I loved my experience. In college, which I just finished my sophomore year, everyone there was nice. I mean, my parent had some money so I have my own barn now, which everyone there I hired and the riders there are awesome. I don't know, but you had really bad luck and I've just been at great places for riding. Where I live everyone in the equestrian community that I know are super nice. |

Totally agree. Rhett's one of my closest friends and I'm currently living at his barn. All the riders are very respectful of each other. Even at my barn down in Wellington (I'm taking a quick vacation and looking at Rhett's horses), my two partner trainers and our riders are very nice. At other barns, not so much. I grew up with Rhett and our best friend wasn't bullied at all. I have to say, Minnesota barns are mostly super friendly. I don't know where you are, but if you're comfortable with telling, then I'll know if that's normal for where you live, or if that's a just a big group of brats. |

I ride in Oregon. I don't think it's the norm for the area, but I'm not sure seeing as I haven't lived here very long. |
