I’m viewing a horse this week!

[OnceIn]

And I’m soooo excited, and terrified in equal measures, but I just wanted to tell someone.

Im 52 and have ridden on and off since I was a child, it’s been a lifelong dream to have my own horse and I thought to myself it’s now or never!

My dd has had a horse for a number of years which I’ve ridden a few times, but she’s far too advanced for me, and quite frankly, scares the shit out of me! So we’re an experienced family, but the weight of responsibility is weighing heavy on me, which is the terrifying bit.

I’ve been looking for a full loan but there doesn’t seem to be many about (even in this weather). So started to look to buy. I’ve found what looks to be what I’m after and I’m viewing on Thursday. My dd is coming with me, and she’ll tell me if he’s not suitable, and stop me making any rash decisions.

Im day dreaming of happy hacking to my hearts content, grooming and spending time with ‘my’
horse…. Ekkkkk

I did go and look at one today, private sale and on paper is what I was looking for, but it just wasn’t for me. I’m trying not to obsess over all the for sale pages now

A bit far from me, but thank you ☺️

They do come to you. I looked for a year before my pony found me.

what is your budget if you don’t mind me asking? And what area are you in? x

Budget is £5000, looking for a happy hacker/low level schooling type and I’m on the Nottinghamshire / Lincolnshire boarder

Have you looked at Horses4Homes.

Oh I’d forgotten how much I hate looking for horses.

i must have spoken to a dozen people recently and the amount of people who just simply ‘stop’ talking, ghost me, tel me to call back and don’t answer their phones is unbelievable. It’s infuriating!
