What a horrible title i have put!! but I wanted to tell people that will understand my little sadness! to cut a long story short I moved to Leeds last year with my OH so this ment moving away from my parents yard and horses even though i sold my own a while ago. I missed been around horses so I found a horse share with a lovely boy and owner.
But its 7months later now and im trying to save up for my own now and can't afford to save up and keep sharing (as it doesnt make sense really either)....so im telling her tonight i can only share him for another couple of weeks.
Im going to miss him so much...im nearly crying writing this (i am such a wuss)
anyway pointless story but wanted to let it out !

Know how you feel, my arab mare has only made 14.2 ish, despite both her parents being over 15hh. I have finally listened to my head and have decided to sell her. She will make someone a fantastic pony (pony club / Prince Charles Cup etc) - if only she had grown another couple of inches.

Oh dear, well just think though in time you will be able to hav your own, its not like your giving up on your loan horse for no good reason is it, I'm sure if you have a good friendship with the owners, then they will let you visit and still see the horse.

(((hugs)))
 
yeah i keep thinking that i will have my own boy/girl next year...im going to say that i really want to stay in contact and be able to say hello every now and again.
Sorry to here that Madarab lady thats just pants!
 
Aww bless you - i know exactly how you feel as i had to tell my share horses owner last week that i had to give up - and i had a little cry about it too.

But like you, i hope i'll have my own ned this time next year so i'm taking my mind off my share horse by planning what sort of horse i want in the future!

Chin up chick x
 
I think we are all soft when it comes to horses, I sold my boy of 4 years in July and delivered him 2 weeks ago. Everyone was in a state when he went my son, the jockey who competed him the yard owner and me - I'm still trying to come to terms with the fact that i sold him even though i get messages every other day telling me what hes been upto and how much she loves him and that he is her forever horse who will never be sold not even for a million pound.
I have even got a replacement but to be honest its not the same
 
Tell her what your position is, depending upon her circumstances, how much she needs the financial contribution, how much she needs help, how easy it is to find a sharer, she might let you carry on for a lower or even no financial contribution until you find your own.

If you are a good sharer I'm sure she won't want to let you go sooner than she has to.

But at least you will be getting your own. I'd love to but until DH's income is a bit steadier we can't risk taking on such a commitment despite the fact that what we pay in lessons per week would pay half livery...........
 
No wonder you are sad, you are in a real catch 22 situation. I agree with Kat, tell the owner why, you never know she still may want your help. Then look forward to the day when you have your own.
