First horse: Is it normal to feel a little overwhelmed?

[Exploding Chestnuts]

Thanks everyone, I'm glad it's normal!

I'm currently stressing about the fact that I need to send his passport off to Ireland but his last owner let his jabs lapse a month ago so I need to restart but I need his passport so it can get stamped by the vet (as far as I know) and I'm worried he'll get influenza in the interim until his passport comes back!!

There is no reason the vet can't update passport later, also, the real immunity is greater than the recommended times of jabs.
I did not bother to re start when my boy was out of time [he had been sick], and the vet was not happy [she was always unhappy with me and vice versa], but for a horse who never went anywhere in a small yard where no one competed, the risk is insignificant for any one horse.

I've just bought my first horse today so I can definitely empathise! Feeling worried already that he's too cold, not got enough hay.. Etc etc. I'm hoping like you have found the worrying will lessen over the next few weeks!

I don't think I'll ever worry any less about him, however I'm starting to worry less that I'll hurt him in some way!
