From previous threads some of you may know that I help look after 2 horses of a crazy friend , who was going to loan one horse but then ended up owning three in less than a year.
After a tough winter of helping look after them in a muddy field with no rides and constant frustrations of her not having enough knowledge to understand their needs, we are now at a yard with a school and all is well.
We have bought one back into work and this afternoon we will be going on a hack . She will ride the ex polo pony and I will be riding another horse that i poo pick (and throw wine at the owner)occasionally in exchange for rides, she is a 21 year old welsh cob who i have ridden on and off since she was 7 so i like to think she is fairly reliable .
Can we have some good vibes, just a bit nervous as 1. i dont know how my horse will react to a new hacking companion she can be a bit mareish 2. There is tree felling in the woods and heavy noisey machinery but we cant avoid hacking for 3 weeks . 3. My horse has lost weight recently so now has a lot more food than before so i worry she will be crazy . 4. We have to go on a road and after reading all the posts on some horsey facebook groups about drivers being downright malicious around horses im convinced we will meet one- although friend is a police officer so hope she will gallop after them and arrest them .
And breathe!
So yes good confidence giving vibes please especially between 4-5 pm as thats when we are going out
