Hi

Just wondering what other peoples first year of horse ownership has been like? Mine (although not made it a full year yet) has been a huge roller coaster from injury to nearly loosing her and all started the day I brought her home. However she is fab and worth it just hoping it gets easier!!

My first year with my mare was a breeze! She is soo chilled and laid back! The only thing I had to worry bout was the person who's field I had her in decided to sell to gypsys and they were going to put their stallions on! A run around to find a livery yard wasnt fun

I always look back and think it was a breeze with my pony, then think about some of the things that happen and feel quite sick! Some years everything seems to fall into place, others its an uphill struggle. Things don't change!
