- Is anyone still reading these?
-
- I'm David Plotkin. I work as a Software Consultant for Sun Microsystems in
- the Wall Street office in New York City.
-
- I'm 32 and I've been riding about 2 years. I started riding after watching
- my girlfriend (now wife) Liz take a lesson. She rode when she was young, and
- was just getting back into it. I thought it looked pretty fun.
-
- I started with private lessons and soon joined a group. I can tell you that
- Liz was not happy when I progressed enough to join her group! I've learned
- quickly, and about 6 months ago I found a small group lesson taught by an
- excellent instructor, very "equitation" oriented. I'm jumping 3' courses of
- 8+ fences now, and I take two, 1.5 hour lessons a week.
-
- Liz got over her jealousy, and we take these lessons together. We have also
- gone on some riding vacations, such as trail riding at the Firefly Ranch
- in Vermont, and cross country jumping and beach riding at the Stracomer
- Riding Center in Co. Donegal, Ireland. That was our honeymoon, and I told
- everyone about that last September.
-
- We live and ride in Bronxville, NY, just outside NYC.
-
- Happy riding!
