I have just found out I am pregnant (only about 7 weeks) - and am contemplating what I would do with my horse?
I only have 1, he can be challenging - but on the whole a safe, lovely boy.
I feel awful because my friend also has horses and we keep them together on a livery yard, and she relies heavily on me to things for her - which I do not mind. But obviously I wont be around much now, so she'd either have to give up or pay for assisted livery.
But I have decided I'm not going to ride while I am pregnant, just incase.
I would like to still go to the yard, especially until I am about to pop. So what would you do? Part loan/full loan/sell?
Ideally I would like part loan so I still have days I can do groundwork and go and see him. But would it be better I have a full loaner so they have time to get to know each other during summer before winter sets in? Or should I sell him?
I am very worried I could have a newborn and be given notice to take my horse back, and I wont have the time to look after or the funds to pay for full livery, then have to look for another loaner?
Just wondered how everyone else managed babies and horses??
Thank you
