Hey guys!
I'm a UBC student from Vancouver going to be starting med school at Schulich in the fall. I'm a competitive horseback rider and am hoping to buy a horse and be at the barn about 4 hours 3-4 times a week. I also have a young golden retriever who needs a lot of care/exercise. I'm a pretty active outgoing person who goes out with my friends quite often, travels, hikes, etc. Just wondering whether you guys in med school think that maintaining this lifestyle is possible/realistic while having enough time to really focus on and excel in school.
If there are any hunter/jumper riders on here, any recommendations on good coaches/barns nearby? Also is purchasing and leasing out my horse 3 days/week a bad idea (too much of a commitment).
I know these are weird questions but, thank you!
