So I wanted to share my story (I will keep it short... or at least try to). When I was 15 my parents brought me Cleo. I always wanted a horse and my parents thought it would be a great distraction so I wouldn’t get into trouble and would keep me busy etc. First time I got on her she tried chucking me off and my dad said “that’s the one for her. She needs a project”. At the time I thought he wanted me killed getting a 6YO TB mare as did my mum who wanted to get me a safe plod but after a while I realised exactly what he meant. He knew I needed something with a bit of spice. Something so that we could learn together. Anyway 5 years later I sadly came to the decision to sell her. I was in uni and just didn’t give her the time she deserved. I sold her to a lovely lady only 15 minutes away from me and kept in touch once a year with her to check how she was getting on. When I sold Cleo I thought i was done with horses completely but the regret over selling her never went away... I just couldn’t fully let go. Anyway fast forward to now I’ve been looking since February for a horse whilst loaning and doing the odd bits with a friends horse and Friday night I was sifting through preloved and who do I see advertised? CLEO!!!! My heart was racing and I got straight into contact with the owner and told her I’ll have her back!!! Just went to see her had a ride on her which felt like a blast from the past and put my deposit down. Funnily enough I am even putting her back on the same yard that I sold her from! I knew my story hadn’t come to an end with her and she really is with me to the very end now. She will be back home with me on Sunday
