Centerville Equestrian Center

I might have mentioned Centerville Equestrian Center before, it is a fairly new place to my understanding (as it was in the newspaper when it opened just a few months ago).  I had emailed them previously asking about lessons, but since I started back up with Amber, I never followed through on meeting them or anything.  But since Amber most likely will never give me lessons again, if I want lessons, I will have to find somewhere new.

They charge $40 per hour for a private lesson.  That's $10 cheaper than Amber, but still expensive.  I'm hoping it's worth it, as the $50 per hour with Amber was definitely worth it since she was so knowledgeable.  I don't know the instructor, and even though it says on their website that she is good (obviously, what else would they say?) I don't know that.  A friend of mine suggested that I sit in on a lesson and meet the instructor before signing up for any lessons.  I think that is a fabulous idea.  I've just emailed them asking if I could do just that, and so I'm waiting to hear back. 

I really don't want to have to give up on horses altogether.  It's so good for me - I was feeling SO much better when I was finally riding again.  It gave me more purpose, made me feel like I was being productive, gave me exercise, I socialized with more people.  It simply got me out of the house.  And after all that's happened recently, I could really use the positive-ness that horses bring.

Sorry about being so down lately.  I'm just really not feeling good about life right now.  Hopefully things will start looking up again for me soon.
