finding horses stressful

[whiteclover]

Does anyone else find that owning horses is really stressful? I worry too much about my horse to the point its ruining my health.

What do you worry about - maybe we can all help? x

yes I agree but only when I had a horse that I bought from a Kent Dealer ( fraid so) Such a stressy horse and I could not even go for a nice gentle hack. Now I am getting a new placid horse the stress has gone!!!! make sure you have the right horses for you.

hes got two problems one copd (which is getting worse as hes in atm due to sore feet, vet says he has to be in). The yard has quarantine rules as well so he has to be in for a couple of weeks. Im seriously thinking of packing it in/getting some help with anxiety.

I've been constantly stressed over the last year... But it's when things go right that I keep going or at this stage aiming for!

The quarantine won't last forever and neither will the sore feet. It is awful when they aren't right and you worry so much but it will all be worth it when you are back in the saddle. Try dome hoof boots for the sore feet, they meant I could start turning out and walking in hand much sooner, and search some barefoot posts for hints on how to help him build nice strong feet.

Thanks I will google the boots. I just hope his breathing gets better when hes out.
