Hi, I posted a few weeks ago about having to make the awful choice of having my horse pts due to a degenerative illness. I said goodbye to my lovely horse 2 weeks ago.
It's been a horrible 6 months and I've been terrified to start again. I've looked at a few horses for sale and this weekend found a lovely horse that I really like. I'd have loved to have brought it home with me. This was quite a big step forward, I didn't think I'd ever see a way of bonding with another horse.
The yard I'm at has been really supportive over recent weeks. I've made a couple of friends and we've been out for drinks. All nice and friendly. I showed off pics of the horse I'm hoping to buy. All nice comments. I later received some messages from one yard friend that were about me but clearly destined for the other friend. Quite scathing and nasty about my ability to cope with another horse and my lack of skill.
For the record we are all in our 40's. All varying degrees of amateur rider. I hate to admit it but Part of me is now worried they're right. I'm terrified of making a huge mistake.
