Congratulations :)
I wish my horse was in full work and then I'd be carrying on as normal also but as he's had time off I'm a bit worried about riding him especially as we're at a new yard (only been there a week).
I may lead him out off of my friends horse who I had on loan for 7 years.
Thanks everyone that's replied. Your input has been very helpful & has helped me to feel more relaxed about turning my boy away for a while if I need to.
Keep your replies coming tho, the more opinions the better I say :)

Congratulations to everyone...

Good luck x
Oh I'd start planning what to do with your neddy before you start trying....I was only thinking of starting to try for a baby! I didn't expect it to happen so quickly and I have no idea what to do with my boy yet but need to make a decision so that I can relax about it :eek:

I just wish I'd been able to keep him ticking over this winter & then I could have carried on riding for a while and he wouldn't have such a massive break...
Thanks everyone :)
I would love to turn him away but he's really not done much so far and IMO at 7 years old now is the time we should be making massive leaps in his education.
I'm going to ask a couple of people at the yard if they'd help me out ridden wise but most have more than 1 horse so...
I've just found out that I'm pregnant (around 5 weeks) and am starting to panic about what I'll do with my horse for the next 9 months at least.
We've not had the easiest of times since I bought him 3 years ago. Ridden wise it's been stop, start, stop, start since the beginning due to various...
