I've bought a pony (14.1hh native) for my DD and me to share (plan is that I'll hack around the lanes while she's at school and she'll jump and do PC etc).
We've had a 12.2hh on loan for the past year, and I had ponies as a child, so I know what I'm taking on. But I'm so SCARED/NERVOUS about the commitment of horse ownership. I've checked this pony out with the PC, vet etc and she seems fantastic, so I think she's 'the one'.
The pony is arriving next week and my DD is beside herself with joy, so why am I so worried? Please tell me I'm doing the right thing! Would love to hear from anyone else who's been through the same emotional rollercoaster and survived.
Thank you
