Care to join me in confession?

I must confess i am rubbish at remembering xc runs, i need to walk them 2-3 times and take pics of the jumps and go over them with the map the night before but i soooo wish you could get a saddle with sat nav in the pommel

I have visions of you galloping across a field with your saddle telling you to make a 'U' turn as soon as it is safe to do so

I confess....I bought a horse today, my first horse as an Adult (last horse bought by parents when i was a teenager) but am so worried about my mothers opinion that i havent told anyone but my closest friends and wont tell anyone else till she is home (hopefully any day now) and settled. I am 30 with 3 kids, 2 dogs, own home, job etc...but still scared of being told off by my Mum, feels better to tell someone, plus im really excited about my new horse

Ooh, how fab! Can we get some pictures?

i confesss............
that part of me is actually quite relieved that big Ruby is now quite old - so no-one expects us to do much fast work out hacking
that i do dressage [ badly] co its the least scary riding i can do
that i much prefer the competition prep - bathing, cleaning, wearing strange clothes to the actual competing bit itself

aaah - i feel cleansed

oh & i cannot telll if i have the wrong canter lead - no matter how many times people try to explain it to me

...that sometimes I really don't like horses - at all,

and that I don't ride unless I want to,

and that today I spent over $600 at the Tack Store tent sale (OK, so $100 was on wormer and I had to get it anyhow) and poor Lady may not forgive me for the bright canary yellow TO she'll have to wear this winter (We won't even mention the colour or design of one I bought that will fit Zeus , or the teeny tiny little western saddle that found a way into the truck )

and...I bought pink, very PINK water pails. I HATE pink, but they were only half price

and I went back to the store again because I couldn't decide on which of two American West shoulder bags I wanted, so I bought both of them

My horse fell over in the trailer back in May & since then I feel sick & gag in the car when travelling..even though I have taken him out 4/5 times since & he is fine! The last journey I did last week is the first one I haven't gagged so hopefully I'm getting better. But today he is going in the trailer with a different horse - he normally travells with my mum's mare, but today it's a new one so feeling nervous!

I have an absolute irrational fear that my horse will get injured & be pts even though he is absolutely fine & has never come in from the field with so much as a bite/kick.

I am absolutely obsessive about my horse & riding..it drives me, oh & everyone really insane! But just can't seem to help it! Can't miss a day riding except for his day off..
