Well after all my posts about the potential share last week and how it might not be able to go ahead it all worked out really well and i now have 2 share horses
The lovely owner brought it down to a price which i could afford and so i pay 20 a week and get to ride either of the gorgeous arabs whenever i want! I went up on sunday to meet them and had a quick go on each in the arena. The mare is really fizzy and giddy but well behaved, she's bursting with life despite being 26! The gelding (who was a stallion until 7 months ago :/ ) was a bit less sharp and responsive but still beautifully schooled and he is just soo floaty and graceful, whereas the mare is bouncy and fun
I can see myself falling for them both big time.
Went on a little ride up the lane on the mare yesterday, she's so full of character, and rode out for about an hour or so on the gelding today who i have fallen in love with already.
The owner is such a lovely person and really easy to get on with, have spent the last 3 hours sat in her house chatting about all sorts. Hopefully we could be really good friends, she's just such a nice person.
Other people on her little yard are lovely too, going out on a 3 hour hack tomorrow with a girl who worked there for a while, which should be great. The hacking is wonderful, loads of tracks, fields, bridle paths and even some gallops about 40 min away which i can't wait to get on to!
So yeyyy! Just wanted to let you all know after my whinging that it worked out so well in the end! And to warn you all of the many excited posts and piccys which are sure to follow
