Daughter's dream is coming true

[ycbm]

Strangely, if you check St Leonard's website, they aren't open on Fridays. I'm afraid it's going to be a dull day for your daughter today

I'm glad that you've started the ball rolling in terms of riding lessons.

I am curious as to how much you have budgeted for
a) purchase of horse
b) purchase of items that you'll need (tack, grooming equipment, stable equipment etc)
c) day to day running cost of said horse

Here are a couple of links which advise on such costs

OP posted this morning re going tomorrow, so Sat. I think Op perhaps doesn't have English as their first language?

Ah, stupid of me not to spot that, I thought it was yesterday because of other people's comments about taking time off school. Yes, pretty clear English is not their first language. Posted at 05.23 our time and browsing on a dollar priced site for clothes. Probably not even in this country, I think.

It is an odd thread! If Op hadn't said they were male it recalls the thread with the poor nanny tasked with buying a children's pony (who I thought was actually genuine)

I search my normal site for horse riding clothing/protection and they had some padded jackets on there. But they don't look like good quality, what do you guys think?

Hello house and hound forum,

This seems like the perfect place for me to get the information needed to help my daughter follow her dream.

Anyway, I'm here because I have never owned a horse before and I can only imagine the amount of work that goes into it. I felt it wasn't right to just jump in and learn as we went. I want to be completely clued up for when we take on this responsibility.

Hmmm... yes, I'm sorry if it is genuine but the bell has just gone off....

Likewise.

I thought of that one too! Very similar. I thought it was genuine at the time.

I wonder whether OP actually works for the website they linked to and it's an elaborate way to try to promote their business?!

It's taken me 3 pages to smell the thing what lives under a bridge... the nanny one whiffed a bit earlier for me, not sure if I responded to that one... I think i steered clear but i remember it well. I hope this one IS genuine if not - the troll got me

I learnt to ride at this riding school and wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
