How far ahead do you have to pay for lessons? We only pay for a month at a time.

We would buy them in packs of ten (if you have a steady class, that's about 2.5 months at once), and the new semester had just started, so I'd only used 2 of them. So I'm riding a lot this week to use up what I can.

One of the women there told me today numerous people were making offers for the horses, so I'm feeling more hopeful that all of them will wind up with homes, even the old guys.

I'm sure you checked the riding academy/stable in brooklyn queens area right off the Belt Parkway.

Plus you can always hop on the LIRR and come out here to Long Island. There's three located within minutes of my house in Nesnconset.

I tried to talk her into that Storm. She said it was too far. My trainer in FL is heading up that way soon.

I've been to the one in Prospect Park- which is the one in the Bklyn/Qns area?

Are the stables off the LIRR within walking distance? I don't have a car, which makes getting around outside the five boroughs tough.

On the bright side, the dressage teacher at Claremont (the one closing) says that there is a bus stop 2 blocks from where she teaches outside the city and that I can take much needed lunge lessons there- Claremont is too small and so I've never had them.

The stable closing is very much the rancid olive in my martini of misery this week. If I'd been having a better week maybe I wouldn't be taking it so hard.
