I have lost a lot of weight, and still have 4 stone to go to be comfortable with myself, my friend asked me if I would share her cob gelding. So I said I would go for a try , she is liveried where they have an indoor school, so I went friday, the cob is heavyset 15-2 and she assured me he would carry my 15st 10 weight .. I am 5ft 10.. she had a big mounting block, so I just put my leg over, and I walked round the school twice, but the horse was very joggy, spooking at corners, and I did not feel at all safe. Short trot, that didn’t go well, so I got off.
I rode competitively till I got pregnant 20 years ago, and gained weight and gave up riding..I seem to have no confidence or balance now.. also her saddle was too small for me and was uncomfortable.
I told her I would not be happy sharing, and she needs to find someone more confident, and I want to loose at least another few stones to reduce the size of my bum and thighs..
Well...she let rip at me..wasting her time...just wanted a free ride...and I could P*** off. She begged me to try him out.. in my heart I knew it was too soon for me, and I don’t think it’s my sort of cob, it was too tensed up... spooking all over place... wouldn’t stand still..
have had six messages off her since Friday night.. I suspect she is desperate for a sharer to lighten her costs this winter.. but it’s not the right horse for me.. I think I’ve now lost a friend, I know some will think I didn’t give it a long enough trial, but I knew it was not for me.. now she is calling me a time waster and such... wish I had never got on the horse...
