I spent over £100 in the local tack shops yesterday.
Only £6.99 was for me, the rest was for share horse and livery pony, so covered by their owners.
Feels like it’s definitley the way to go, nice satisfying shopping trip, buying all that was needed with none of the expense. I recommend ?
(we'll gloss over that because neither tack shop had boots that fit me I then subsequently spent much more than that online… the plus side being most of it will be going back at least)

Yeah, I've never got the hang of this. Consequently most of Charlie's wardrobe technically belongs to me ?

A previous share horse of mine was the same, he definitley had a better rug and headcollar wardrobe after I’d shared him for sure!
Neither of my current share horses go without - 1 is very pampered by his owner, the other has a teenage sharer too who is happy to have a pony to buy stuff for, so at the moment I don’t really have anything to buy for.
So it was actually quite nice to get to go ‘shopping’ yesterday really

Same with horse shopping. Its lots more fun when you are doing it for someone else!
Definitley - we bought one for my mum at the start of the year and that was a much more enjoyable experience than when I last bought one for me ? although with it being for my mum there was a certain amount of pressure not to buy her a dud so it wasn’t totally stress free ?
