As requested on another thread...
Are you sitting comfortably, then I'll begin...
A long time ago, about last June, I decided that I really didn't have enough space for my ever growing herd - and if I really wanted to breed a foal, what I really needed was a bit more land... about 10 acres should do it, So onto the interweb I ventured. A couple of clicks later and a piece of land I knew (and thought had sold recently) popped up on the feed, less than 2 miles from my house and about 60 acres... but actually quite cheap for the area. I showed my darling beloved and he said, 'ring 'em up'. 'Ring 'em up' I did, and though a few ups and downs later, we not only had bought some fields, but also 2 houses and a load of barns with planning on them.... How the ***** did that happen? I'm still not quite sure.
Well, I am a great believer in making any decision you make the right one, I now had the space to start breeding, I had a great friend and trainer on board to start a training programme, and one fateful day, I met an amazing woman, therapist and horsewoman and suddenly the vision was clear...
It is still going to be a long road, planners need to be wooed, barns need to be renovated, pipes need to be laid, but the dream is becoming real. A whole site dedicated to mental and physical health achieved with (and without) horses, a place of healing, happiness, education and hope. To produce the best therapy horses, the best dressage horses, the best riders, the best training and most importantly the best times. (Sorry I will pass the sick bags round later).
Its a beautiful and dramatic site, and I am very excited if you guys want to come along for the ride xx
