I don't think I dare take it any further with the owner - I did ask "when were you going to tell me about that" after the fall but got back on and managed a fairly successful ride. I think I may mention it to the YO to see what she thinks? Maybe she could have a word with the owner.

I'm not just saying this, but I honestly can't remember her actually saying "sorry" but I may have been wrong, she did say how that was the longest she'd seen anyone stay on and how nice it was to have a proper rider on the yard - it really makes me think that this was a preplanned attack. Ah...

Thanks for the replies - I'm glad people don't think I was being totally negligent. Having only been at is yard for only a couple of weeks I'm yet to know all the horses. I'm just thankful I'm young enough to still *just about* bounce :)

D - have to say this was my fault as well and say I didn't ask if the horse had any problems, I assumed that the owner would have divulged if it had, but I have most definitely learnt my lesson! Just one of those silly little accidents and I definitely take a slice of the blame for being so...

Another serial lurker, best of luck. It's so exciting to keep reading the updates of her getting closer and closer!

Would you be annoyed if someone asked to you have a sit on their horse to take it for a small ride, it broncs you off in fairly spectacular fashion and its not until after that the lady tells you that it is a serial bucker, had had everyone but one person off and the last person ended up in A&E...

Meant to say best of luck with yours :)

Thanks Koeffee, have found nice little yard in Trefor. Now just waiting for the horse to get here in the next week or so :) J X

Just realised horse trials on! My bad!

Have you actually tried Burnham Market? They used to stable our horses when we went on holiday around there (sorry if its a stupid answer)

Daffodils. Especially daffodils shaking in the wind. Dread that time of year when they are in full bloom. :P

Well I'm looking to loan my lovely KWPN 14yr old done everything (BE90, BD, BYRDS, RC, PC etc) with me since I was 15. No soundness issues and I'm happy to negotiate a deal to ensure he has the right home. Not even a sniff of interest!

Thanks very much for all the replies J X
