Haven't You Learned How To Ride YET?

I've been riding for 30 years and people can never understand why I still take lessons.  Every week we trailer to Terry Helder's place in Wrightsville, Pa.   Terry is a trainer, breeder and show judge and he runs Evergreen Farm with his wife, Peg.  They are both wonderful teachers and we have learned so much from them.  During the show season, Terry watches us perform and then tailors our lessons to any problems we had during the show.   When show season is over, he takes a more long-range approach, giving us riding exercises to work on and helping us to train both ourselves and our horses.  When we look back over a year of lessons, we can clearly see how we have progressed from one show season to the next.
