thank you for your response:) couldn’t you say that is the same for a loan though? They are so hard to find and by the time I do and get them settled in/used to each other I’d be thinking about sending it back again

So would you say it would be okay to do?

Hey, Currently looking out for a new horse however I’d only be able to keep it a year - is it worth it? Horse would be sold in just under a years time. Considered loaning but as I’m sure you all know not many like to let their horses go to someone else’s yard! tia

thanks all:)

Thank you!! I will definitely listen to them. My horse is up for sale at the moment so I’m hoping that when he’s gone it will make it easier to not ride, as I wouldn’t have something waiting for me to get back on At the stables! X

thank you, that sounds like quite a good idea! Will look into it more :)

Ok thank you! And yeah I definitely will, they have said I will never show jump again, but I’m really hoping it heals well so I can get back on!!

Thank you! I was wearing the Charles Owen J3 Skull hat, the doctors said that (based on statistics of other people with my injury) I should be in a coma with only a 10% chance of regaining consciousness...! So my hat really did save me. X

Wow! Thank you, although I don’t think I would ever have the guts to go round 1.40!! Well done x

Thank you!! did the doctors say anything about you possibly not riding again? I really want to, but my parents aren’t so keen for me to get back on! They said if I have another fall like this one then it would leave me with bad brain damage or possibly kill me!! But I would never be in the...

Hi! I have recently had quite a bad fall and had a bleed in my brain, meaning I can’t ride for a while! It would be 6 months minimum.. has anyone else had to stop riding for a long period of time, and how did you cope? I’m really hoping I can ride again, although I won’t be able to go back to...

Thank you everyone for the replies, we have talked to the owners and they got the vets back out and decided it would be best to slow him down! X

I wouldn’t be buying him, he’s up for full loan! Realistically I don’t have the money to buy a horse that I can compete higher than what I’m doing now, and I’m not experienced enough to buy a youngster to produce up to it! X

Ok, thank you. he is competing at Newcomers (1.10) at the moment and goes out hunting a lot, so surely if I was training (occasionally competing - maybe like 4 times a year) at around 90/1m it wouldn’t be putting as much stress on the joints as there is at the moment? Sorry for all the...

Ok thank you, they did say that he wouldn’t need it as often if he wasn’t doing as much as he is now, I would be jumping him around 90/100 and probably not even competing that much! So would this possibly mean he might get away with just having 2 a year?
