I can’t quite believe it - I wasn’t looking to buy and had just recently started shared a lovely wee pony but having owned my own up until a couple of years ago and then stupidly selling because I felt guilty about spending time away from my now horsey mad dd, I’ve found it hard to adjust to sharing someone else’s horse and it’s made me miss having my own.
I wasn’t planning on doing anything about it though until a stumbled upon an advert for a near perfect sounding horse! Safe as you can get, loves hacking but very, very green in the school.
Tried her out today and it looks like I’ll be buying her subject to vetting 😬.
I’m about 70% excited and 30% nervous about taking on the responsibility again plus the risk of an unknown horse although having hacked her in awful weather she seems to fit the brief and i do like a bit of a project when it comes to schooling.
Now comes the task of getting new saddle, getting injections (they aren’t up to date) and all the rest of it.
Luckily, I’ve got a space on my friend yard 10 minute from home and will be on very cheap full livery so I don’t have to be up at the yard every day!)
Argh what have I let myself in for!! Fingers crossed she passes the vetting!!
