Am I being totally mad to consider this?? (long sorry)

Glad you went for it

Sorry about your old lad. I hated it when Little Lad went. Kept feeling like I'd forgotten something Was forever working out bringing four in, when in reality it was three. Now I'm back to four and it feels normal again

Hugs hunny. She is lovely

Oh she is lovely - what's her breeding?

You already know the answer - if you can offer her the happy loving home she deserves go for it. If you think she'll be miserable as sin only being worked once a week and you can't arrange someone else to ride her then fair do's be more cautious but to be honest if you think she'll be happy then I wouldn't hesitate. I had a similar dilemma at the beginning of the summer - due to pregnancy my guys were looking at a minimum of a year without being ridden at all. Many sleepless nights followed while I tried to figure out what to do for the best for all of us and during that time came to a realisation - not one of them gave a stuff about not being ridden! They were out in the field together all summer, with a very supportive partner they now have a good winter routine established so they're in during the night out during the day and frankly not one of them looks or acts any worse for a serious reduction in work. For some horses it works, for some they hate it. If you think she'll be happy, go for it and don't look back, wish you all the luck in the world and enjoy her!!

Thank you! You'll see above that did go for it and it worked out great Glad it all worked out for you too x

Thank you! Although I'm not in a rush to have 3 again I do seem to have accidentally also taken on the ride of a 3rd horse at weekends...an older boy again!

Thank you! She's an Arabian: by Psyche's Spirit out of Lavendar Moon.

Just read through the whole thread and glad you updated saying you bought her! Sounds like she has a great home with you and you will never have to worry about her future! Good luck with the dressage x

 

[Ruth_Cymru]

I can see from those photos exactly why you bought her, she's beautiful, although she's an arab so that was to be expected

 

[Adopter]

She looks lovely, having read whole thread so pleased you went with your heart and bought her, now you don't have to regret or have moments of wondering what happened to her.

What a super colour as well.
