I think i'm about to have an emotional breakdown

[twinkle]

I called my riding school today to see if my usual instructors left and she has , this brings up a very difficult situation as there is only 2 other female instructors and i'm not aloud to have male instructors and this is what upsets me , i am being treated like a common tart by my riding school , i've already had a breakdown last year for all the emotional abuse i suffered there from my first instructor who just used to lose his temper with me . I understand its a very difficult situation to comment on but i feel so alone and i seriously think i'm going to have another breakdown . I have gone to other riding schools near me , but there safety standards are rubbish . Help!

can you find out were you old instructors gone to , if its not too far away maybe you could go there

Twinkle you probably are a real wee stunner and that's why they keep the male instructors under lock and key - there probably worried you'll get special treatment lol.
I do feel for you - when you get an instructor that is the bee's knees then it's hard to adapt to others. I'm personally crap with handling change, possibly so are you.
If you feel that unhappy I would try another school - even one lesson, you never know it might be great - a change is as good as a rest sometimes.

Hope you feel better and a little more optimistic. A little karma coming your way to cheer you up - even a little. x

I think that's a good idea. You say there are 2 other female instructors at your current place - could you not try one of them. Please don't feel alone, there's always people here to talk to.

good idea to find out where your instructors gone to. good luck xxx

[twinkle]

Thanks for that guys ;D , you've really cheered me up, thanks for the karma danny boy . The reason i don't want the other instructors is because the one is really nice but we really clash and lessons i've had with her go no where and the other one spread some very nasty rumour that i had said something i hadn't , it sounds a bit petty i know but over my dead body will i ever be in that womens presence . It is hard to adapt to another instructor as my first one did think he was the bee's knee's and gods gift to women , your right i am crap at handling change , very crap actually , it takes me a while to adapt . I am definitly going to a different riding school , its just finding one thats the problem, there either to far or the one's that are close are full up or have rubbish health and safety standards and look like pig sty's , i'm not a snob trust me they really are that bad , or i just don't get along with the instructors , to be fair to my first one he was very good with me he had me riding just one horse i felt comfortable and safe on to get my confidence and was so patient , i don't know what happened with him to be honest i just say " MEN!" lol . About the male instructors , this is what makes me laugh , i know for a fact they are gay as the two are a couple , so i am confused do they think i have the power to turn gay men back to straight men ! Seriously . Thanks for helping me in my drama queen moment ;D
