Please bear with me this may take time. AI will shortly be reaching the grand old age of 65. I have owned horses since I was 35 and ridden since I was 8. At the beginning of May whilst turning out my horse he reared up and got away from me breaking my ankle in 3 places. I would like to say it was just an accident but he was a wrong one. I had owned him for 11 years and he had injured me many times before. Very hot, difficult and unpredictable to ride with a multitude of health issues. You name it he had it. I kept him as I knew if I had tried to sell him he would have gone further and further down the food chain. He has now been pts.
So here I am crocked up and wondering what life will be like now. Realistically I won't be able to own another horse. I can only afford DIY livery and the thought of turning out in the morning 7 days a week in the Winter doesn't fill me with joy. A part share sounds good but where would I get one. Also, and I know this probably sounds really big-headed of me, but I have high standards. I found it appalling on my last yard that fellow liveries hadn't a clue with regard to the basics.
Also what should I do with all the accumulation of tack and sundries I have collected. Wheelbarrows, brooms, buckets, dustbins and that's besides tack etc.
Feeling rather despondent and not helped by lock down. Has anyone got any ideas and thanks fr Reading this.
