Hi all,
Occasional poster on MN but new to this topic.
My 11 yr old DS shares a horse at a DIY livery in Surrey. He is what I consider a novice rider, but he loves it all, the riding, the grooming, the mucking out etc....he has come on leaps and bounds in the last few weeks at this yard with this new share.
If he could he would be there every day, but generally he rides 3/4 times a week. I stay with him as I enjoy watching him ride but I am a bit useless around horses as I have a fear of them but I am getting better the more I'm around them.
My dilemma is do I just keep him sharing this horse, which obv works out cheaper with no responsibility but its not his horse to ride when he wants.....or in 3/4 months time look into getting a pony on full loan at our present yard??
I would pay for him to have a weekly 1 hour lesson on his horse as he still needs that to bring him on.
I understand his want to have his own pony to do with what he wants, but it's a big responsibility and it will be down to me to drive him there/ back etc and obv pay for it all....
My head says one thing, my heart says another......HELP!!!!!
