It's a long, and a bit complicated one, so get comfy.
Last year my friend decided to sell her horse as she wasn't getting on with him, and was going to take one of mine on loan, as we are on the same yard. Then she changed her mind about selling so I decided was going to have to put mine up for sale or get sharer. Tried both ideass, but didn't go with either, so still have him.
Then her horse went lame, and resulted in him having to be pts, while this was going on, she went back to the idea of having mine on loan, but then left yard without saying yes or no to me, but told other liveries she would not be getting another horse.
We have had text contact since she left, but no horsey talk. Then last week had text asking if I had found a sharer yet, as she would like to do it.
Then had further text saying she would like to share 3/4 days a week but would not be able to pay anything, would be happy to skip him out on her riding days but not able to turn out or get in !!
Have to say felt a bit miffed, as I would still be doing nearly all the work, paying all the money, while she just pitches up to ride him.
I have nearly caved in a bit about letting her come up, but I still think she is thinking of herself first, and I can picture myself feeling very bitter and twisted while I'm out in the hammering down rain poo picking his field etc, and she is having fun riding !
