Thanks for all your really helpful replies! Labruyere, I would be keeping him or her at a livery yard as there would always be someone on hand to help and the correct facilities to do everything in a safe and suitable environment. MerryVB, I think that is definitely something I would...

Thanks for the advice Littlelegs. It certainly isn't confidence around horses, in fact I feel at my most confident when i'm around them! I have ridden several times in my break and every time I do its as if I have never had a day away. I would certainly make sure that I had a lot of back up if I...

Good afternoon lovely HHO'ers. This may be a loooong one but could use some opinions! I will hopefully be looking for a new horsey in the next few months after a break in horse ownership (rise in salary permitting!!) and just cannot decide what if I am looking for is the right thing. It...

Bump :)

Thanks so much Lady La La :D that's really kind of you!

Hello all, Just wondering if any of you Essex folks know of Crepping Hall? Just wanted some general info about livery/prices etc :) Thanks in advance!

After seeing a few posts about the worries and hardships of horse ownership this time of year (and knowing from experience), it got me thinking about horse ownership in general! I am looking at getting a horse again in the next few months and I would just be really interested to hear...

Wagtail and Faracat... I do appreciate your comments however I wouldn't ever compromise a horses welfare or well being for my own selfishness. In fact the only reason I mentioned my concerns about a companion was so that the it wasn't left alone! This didn't mean that I would buy a horse and...

Thanks everyone! Lots of really helpful replies :) I would love to have a little companion but again would worry about separation anxiety problems if/when I go out for a ride! Ideally I would be able to move between livery yard and home in the summer and winter months, however its a...

Hello All Long time lurker but taking a leap of faith and hoping you'll all be gentle! :) This is a long one and to some may seem a bit trivial so get comfy! I sold my horse and gave up a horsey job to go back to study five years ago. I miss horses everyday, all my social life and friends...
