Equiteam’s Liz Daniels chats to the lovely Mary Jarvie about her
journey from being an ‘adult learner’ to a competent
equestrian. As a horse-mad child and teenager, Mary describes
riding as an addictive drug and the itch that she can now scratch –
although her true equestrian learning didn’t start until she was in
her fourties.
Mary reflects on the challenges that she has faced along the way,
letting go of the adult learner label, and the realisation that
your riding level isn’t a reflection on the age that you started
riding.
