Can other people ride your horse?

Do you know this feeling? Once you get a horse, lots of people wants to get a ride on your horse? 

Well I had this happend to me. I have nothing against if my nieces wants a ride, cause they are children. But other people, like why? 

So when me and Mr. M got Miss G, we said that I was the only one riding her. Well then the this with the wrist happend and then I couldn't ride her. The family who owns the stable were she's at, has a daughter who rides and have helped me and Mr. M with Miss G. So early morning after the accident I was laying on the sofa and thinking "what do I do with miss G? I know I can't really ride her. I can do bits and bobs at the stable, but no riding!". 

That's when I thought, if the daughter wanted to help us with Miss G. So I asked the mother and she asked her daughter. The daughter said yes and have since that day 3 weeks ago, helped us with miss G. I am really thankful that she helps us and exercise Miss G, while I teach her. I actually really like to teach her and she is like a sponge, that just sucks up all the knowlegde I'm giving her. She is a really good listerner on what I tell her. I do try to tell her on a way that makes sense in my head and the kind of background on why we do the things we do.

The thing is before I got Miss G, I was really jealous when people rode the horse I also was riding. Am I the only one who felt like this? I have had a really hard time dealing with this! I think Miss G in her last time of being owned by someone else, also was struggling with this! She is a one-mans-horse and I don't think she really likes, if there are too many people around her - especially when they parent her in so many different ways. Often it has been that kind of old school dominant way, which really doesn't suit Miss G and me. That's why I had to learn a different way of teaching her how to behave!

I honestly thought I would find, someone riding MY horse difficult. But I havent had that much of a hard time with it. Maybe it's because I know how the circumstances are and maybe because I know Miss G is my horse and I know I don't have to compete with other people? I would still like to ride my own horse, but with an arm in a cast, it's really kind of difficult. Can't wait for the day I get it off! 

One thing that can be a good idea, is if your trainer rides your horse. Then it can be much easier for your trainer to know the actual problem. The thing is, I have been trained by someone I actually didn't like their way of riding! They were to... Well let's just say it wasen't a way I would ride or have anybody else ride my horse like that! So when that person asked me, if  they could ride my horse, I tried to politely decline. I could feel Miss G get all tense, when  the person said that and I know she was really happy, because the person never got to do so. 

That is why I feel like it's important to trust the person who is riding your horse! If there is no trust, then you wont be comfortable with another person riding your horse! Maybe that is also one of the reasons that person never got to ride Miss G. I really did not trust that person, eventhough I tried. They did not show me how too be a good person! 

Another thing is, if you have someone riding your horse, you know someone who maybe pays you a little money, they would probably love to own their own horse one day. I totally understand this, because I had it the same way! I would love to own Miss G and someday that actually happend. I can't tell you how much it meant to me. Therefore I know Miss G would never be up for sale. She is going to be with me til the day she isn't here anymore!
