Thank fuck I did ! Jeez he was so useless after a lovely reigniting romance in lockdown. Ex BF did nothing and I mean nothing after he moved in I said on more than one occasion do I look like a 1950s housewife ? Anyway he’s gone and the horse has come welcome Bear 🐻

@ChiefClerkDrumknott very low leval RC he’s kept at a very nice yard on working livery for the moment. There are jumps XCountry dressage instructors fab staff fab people great hacking and a lot my age 54 plus. It’s very nice and you can spend all day there easily. We had a terrible jumping lesson today though I’m not the bravest and he was a bit forward going still I am going to have a few more lessons to get my seat better and keep going. I watched him
In a lesson afterwards with a total novice he was so lovely with him even the instructor said I lucked out with him he is one in a million 🥕

Great decision OP ... your new "partner" looks like a handsome dude. But then I'm a bit biased ....... (......... horse owner myself!! ....)

Good luck with your new partnership.

I love this !!,well done OP x

OurChristmasMiracle · 23/07/2021 16:53

That is the best decision ever!! A horse may break your bones (yes been there done that) but they will never break your heart!!

He will get you through the hardest times.
