Sorry for moaning post! Does anyone else just feel they seem to just attract horses who have medical issues? And spend the while time chasing their tail and not getting anywhere as a rider?
Will try to keep short but basically spent 6 years trying to keep my planned horse of a lifetime pieced together - had to change my ambitions of Be to Bd to work with what I had and still only got to novice before he had to hang up his dancing shoes at 7 ?
Now I feel I'm about to go through the whole thing again with my new horse. I love horses but I really want to progress as a rider and it's just so frustrating - I dont want to sound selfish but horses are my absolute life; caring for others horses and training other riders to achieve their goals and I dont seem to have ever in the 40 years of owning horses been able to have a season of competing myself.
It just seems everytime I get going something always happens and back to the beginning we go!
I really dont have huge competition goals I'd just love to do some grassroots be/ elementary dressage and general fun clinics and competitions.
Reading back I sound like a right spoilt brat ? I promise I'm not I'm just not sure how much more of the emotional rollercoaster of horse ownership I can take!
