I rode my four year old for the first time today in 2 weeks (and has only been ridden 3 times in a month) and went for an hour walk.
Im probably going to carry on roughly as normal (2x walk hacks per week with sharer, 1 normal hack and 1 lesson) as he wasnt really fit before!!
I dont really...
Im Charlotte, 22 years old, graduated this year and work in Marketing and have two horses, Milly a 15.3 16 year old ISH who we have owned since 2002 and is now retired and a 5 year old hanoverian called Eternity who we bought last year.
Last year I didnt do much due to Milly's injury but before...
Erm at the moment prelim dressage!
With my old horse we did a bit of everything but mainly PN eventing - we did do PC opens in dressage, showjumping and eventing
Nothing! My horse has been ridden 3 times in the past three weeks and no chance of riding again until next weekend. Im not to worried though my one horse is only 4 (well tech 5!) so he's just having an unscheduled holiday and my other horse is retired anyway.

I evented my 14.2 at two intro events this summer. The height was no issue - our biggest problem was we went too fast (hangs head in shame) and the dressage where the judge laughed at us and asked what an earth we were doing!!!
Personally I think your a bit mad to travel! I live in the middle of Tallands and Summerhouse and we are in chaos. There are so many cars abondaned on the side of the road in my town.
There were a lot of accidents about yesterday, my road home was shut as a lorry was across the road... I...
I am starting to wonder if i am silly if i pay for my horse to be evented by my sister for probably most of the season (until i am deemed capable!)
Im still annoyed/upset at how much i spent last year to have a few scary runs and end up with a retired horse
Lows:
- Milly going lame and being retired
-Realising Mils had been wrong for quite a long time
-My darling Milly spending 1/4 of the year on box rest
Highs:
- Buying the new horse!
-Competiting two intros on my old pony who i had had since she was 4 - going from not jumping doubles to two...
Well done it was sooo wet! Not ideal conditions for a first novice at all!
I was so wet after watching my sister do one test (on my horse) i let her do mine as well!!! Seriously it was fair play to anyone who went today!
I work full time and am finding it very difficult at the mo - but compared to the rest of the thread i have it easy!
I have two horses one i ride and the other i dont (sadly), i feed 3 horses in the morning and turn one of mine out. Then two days a week i have a sharer who rides for me the...
