Have you bonded with the horse? I loved having my horses at first the buzz was amazing and to be fair still is.... but I did start getting very stressed and worn out as time went on and I was on a DIY yard but I was worried about finances so thought I had to battle through I first of all...

3 times a week @ £10 - the standard loan amount = would actually work out at £130 a month purely on a loan front. so when you consider most also ask for half towards shows each time aswell, what your thinking is more than reasonable! I think I used to pay £90 a month and then half for...

Yes I am aware of them but they are both DIY with large waiting lists, and not quite what I'm after. thanks though :)
