I would buy her sounds like a perfect match, I think you will regret it if you dont if later down the line its not working out you can always rehome, but once she is gone you may never get her back, go for it
Just read this after I posted, this sounds like a good plan to me if they are all out its far less work and the natural living will do her the world of good, Please keep us updated with what you decide but I think you have already made up your mind.Thanks for all your thoughts. I thought I'd wake up with a clearer mind but I'm even more undecided!!! I really like her but I want to do what is best for her and I'm not 100% sure what IS best for her right now.
Booboos- The horses are at home and I do have help with childcare etc. Facilities wise we have a small indoor and fields. Roads quite busy but we can box to places and bridleways are only a short drive. Yes I did have an accident handling the other day (with the oldest and smallest one of the lot - typical!) and so I am being very cautious at the moment. I'm not handling in any open spaces etc so if I need to let go there is no risk to the horse getting on a road etc.
I'm eering on the side of buying her and then say a month or two after the baby is born make a long term decision for her. At least then I won't regret passing her up? I think that's the best thing to do. They've all been living out for a few days now with ad lib hay. She seems happy with this as that's all she's had but at least now she has horse company. So I know deep down she's not 'losing out'. I might keep them living out between now and the baby (unless the weather takes a dramatic turn for the worst!!)
I know I'm very late to this, but I have your mare's full brother! He's 17 now, and doing well!Thank you

We have Nebo Black Magic and Bronfoel Harri etc in there. She's got some really nice relations!
Sadly, OP hasn't been on here since 2015 according to her profile page. I wonder if anyone on here knows her in real life?I know I'm very late to this, but I have your mare's full brother! He's 17 now, and doing well!
