Yes I am proud of her record, and the faults that are on there are usually my error not hers!!
I was thinking if I decide to loan her would an advert on somewhere like horsequest be best way. thought a facebook post on my page might be too emotional with all the questions as to why and one in a...
I did one early last year for a bit of fun, think you have to wait quite long time to down grade??
Her BE name is Glimavragh, if anyone is interested in a bit of stalking :)
I'm sorry to hear you had to have yours PTS, can I ask how old he was and if the changes were C6-C7. I actually work at an equine veterinary practice and have her x-rayed annually to monitor the changes and discuss treatment options so feel i'm doing what I can. I obviously do worry that...
Thank you all so much for your replies, it's helped me realise that loaning will be the best option and concentrate on finding right home that way rather than a lease. I have loaned two horses out previously with great success, you can tell I don't like selling them!! So it doesn't daunt me...
Do many people lease horses? Do you think it is a viable option and maybe a more secure option than loaning?
I am contemplating leasing/loaning my mare out and wondering if she would warrant asking for a leasing fee and if so how much would I ask?
Her details briefly are.....
11yr old...
Amazing read as always. The only thing I can say is what's harder than eventing with a baby...... eventing with two babies :) ok i don't take my twins to many events and had to stop breast feeding early on ( but experienced the full force of leaking boobs in a mothercare changing room buying new...

Lec - fin our home bred is out on loan he came back from surgery ok but gave him full year off and brought him back into work this yr he's obv v unfit...
well this is my first post for a very long time.
I am now a mummy to 4 month old twins so I haven't been riding for quite a while!!!
I now just have my gorgeous Gator who i bought as a 4 year 6 months before i was pregnant. I brought her on did a bit of everything handful of competitions...
so sorry to read this, very sad. I lost my horse of a lifetime to colic and she had a colt at foot, he was nearly 6 months old. I had a little pony to keep him company for first few days then we bought another colt foal, not greatly intentional as went to market to get something but think it was...
yes very, dealer who bought her show jumps a Limerick mare to high level and thats reason she bought another by him. hope the 4yr old you sourced is going well be interesting to compare how they get on :)
sire is Limmerick who is Holstein and the mare is ISH (but with more blood than draught) by Guy Mannering
she was bought in Ireland in sales as 3 yr old then brought over
