I was one of those teenagers who couldn't think of anything but horses... I worked with them, got my BHSAI, rode at different yards and in different sports for several years, then got a "proper" job and used my "proper" money to fund my habit. Had a run of bad horse-luck which ended in my special horse being put to sleep around 4 years ago. Horseless for the first time in forever, I met my husband!! We got married last year and had our daughter in June. Now I'm at home on mat leave and all I can think about is horses!!
I THINK it's because I've got time on my hands, and we've just got a decent internet connection so much surfing going on... I shouldn't buy a horse, should I? I should take up the generous offer which a friend made to ride their 15hh gelding, who is slightly quirky but well schooled and is even a competition prospect for next season. It's so nice of them, they won't even let me chip in for shoes, so financially is a very good option, and time-wise I don't even have to 'do' him, only ride.
I should not buy the cheap but nice-looking youngster advertised locally. SHOULD I??!! Even telling myself I could make a project of her and turn her over for a profit, that's just a totally silly idea, isn't it!?
