Last day of horse share tomorrow

[Alloway]

I’ve had a horse share for the last two years. He’s wonderful--the most amazing horse I’ve ever ridden. But I’ve had to walk away as I just can’t manage the time any more and the money is a bit of a problem, too. I’m devastated. I know that sounds an extreme reaction, but I have got so attached. I’ll still have lessons, but I’m going to miss the whole experience of caring for a horse and being able to ride when/how I want. It really has been so mentally therapeutic for me and I’m so much fitter. I’m not sure what I’m posting for, other than to ask how people have got over this kind of experience?

That’s really hard - it’s going to take a while to adjust I expect. Would you be able to have the occasion lesson on him or would his owner not be up for that?

It will be really sad - would
the owner be willing to let you come
and see him if not ride

Thank you for replying. I’ll still be able to see him as I’ll continue to have lessons up there every week but very much doubt there will be an opportunity to ride again as that would go to the new sharer.

But I did run into the owner of the stables when I collected DD this evening and she has offered me as many riding school ponies as I want to groom, muck out etc. 😁 I may take her up on it

That's so sad. I wish I could find someone like you.
