Utterly delighted - after months of searching, failed vettings, a viewing that almost broke my back and every emotion under the sun experienced - I've had the loveliest mare pass a 5 stage vetting today and she will be coming home shortly! Ironically after traipsing all round the country I found her 5 minutes from home!

No real point to this post except I know a lot of you will understand the joy! Eeeek!

Wonderful! A friend had exactly the same experience 5 years back. Traipsed everywhere, found hers just round the corner. I hope you have a much fun with yours as she has with hers.

Pictures when she arrives, please 🙏

Brilliant I feel your frustration. It took me four months to find mine in Winter 2021 when there were ten viewers for every horse and prices were mental!

Hoping you have years of fun 🙂

Thanks everyone, I am too chuffed for words. I will provide photos when she arrives!

She's a 5 year old irish sports horse, 15.2, moves beautifully and a lovely calm, sensible temperament whilst still being forward going under saddle. Exactly what I was looking for! :D

After losing my boy last October to kidney failure after a long long struggle with PSD, this is the first time there's seemed to be light on the horizon as far as my ridden life goes. Can't wait for her to get here!

That's great to hear - and looking forward to photos when she gets home!

Babycob was just down the road. He wasn't even advertised properly but a post came up randomly on FB and I liked the look of him so went shopping 😁

Excellent news! I'm months down the line looking, also with failed vetting, so I wish you all the very best with her. I hope you enjoy a long, happy partnership!

So the seller is going to drop her off on Saturday afternoon. The mare I have on loan is going to go home before lunch time, my little welshie is going to have a stressy couple of hours and then the new mare is going to swoop in and become his instant new bestie (hopefully, lol). Feel a bit guilty for splitting up my little man and the one I have on loan as they are completely in love but needs must! Plus the loan horse is ready to come into ridden work so she will pop by for visits so we can hack out :D ohhh I can't wait!! ❤️

Congratulations. I had the same journey finding my current horse! It’s such a relief when you get what you’re looking for.
