Does anyone else feel really lucky?

[chocolate86]

Even though he makes me poor I love my horse and in his own way he shows me so much affection back : ) i just think im so lucky to have him and the fab yard im at, ok its not perfect but its the best yard i've ever been on, really small YO is not money orientated and is really supportive, almost like a 2nd family...just having lovely thoughts of how lucky i am whilst skivving until bh weekend

I do. I'm on a great yard, I don't usually fit in well as I'm really shy but I feel I have on my current yard. Even my Mam (who has only been up yard once in a year) thinks I've settled there really well. And both me and my horse have come on loads since I got her, both confidence wise and riding wise, she definitely keeps me on my toes. I was out of riding for a while but came back into it with a spooky arab (current horse) so not the best but it reminds me of when I was a kid and fearless, confidence I wish I could get back, and I pretty much have, with current horse at least. I'm off next week so hiring a cross country course and having alesson there, plus hopefully going to beach for first time and planning lots of rides out with a friends who is also off. I'm part-loaning at the mo, starting full loan with view to buy next week and since I've never full loaned or owned a horse before I think my luck is definitely in at the moment, these are the best days I have ever had. So much excitmenet in such a short time! Good times

I do yes, especially when people say how they have waited their whole life and finally got a horse or how they are desperate to have a horse but can't for whatever reasons.. i feel really, really lucky then!
I do sometimes think how rich I would be and how much time I would have without them but I would never, ever change that for the world. they keep me grounded (a little stressed sometimes) but they are my constant no matter what! very very lucky

Incredibly - I dreamt of owning my own when I was little and begged and begged so to have two of the lovliest beasties is a blessing. What's more I feel luckier than most every day when River's head is still looking over his stable door for me - we were so close to loosing him that every time I ride him these days it makes me feel like I won the lottery. I know he doesn't have forever but every day longer is a blessing!!!

They keep me broke and shattered but I couldn't bare the thought of life without them...

I simply cant imagine a life without horses.My love of horses started when I was about 5. There were three horses in a little triangular field by a roundabout betwean Cheam and Ewell(Surrey).My dad,who grew up with horses in south africa,would say lets go see the horses.I was amazed at how these huge beasts would nuzzle and talk to my dad. Never underestimate what a small child notices and remebers.I marvelled at the way these huge beasts could bring out the side of my father that he found so difficult sharing with his family. They eventually built a church on that field,but if anything can save my soul it wont be that church but the horses that were there before!
