13 years after having to hand my loan pony back due to a bad accident and breaking both ankles and losing pretty much all my confidence, my new pony arrives on Saturday!
Well technically she's for my children but I plan on spoiling her rotten with lots of love
Rosa is a beautiful 11.2 section a and will be with us for a long time, if not forever. Having been away from horses for a while I'm a little anxious about her arrival and am worried that I'll have forgotten something, any advice?
I've sorted (or will have sorted prior to her arrival) -
Insurance (need to research more before deciding who to go with)
Registering with a local vet (going with Steve Orrell)
She's barefoot and isn't due a trim for at least a month - planning to ask for farrier recommendation at the yard
She comes with tack and rugs so that's covered, have got local saddler contact details if I need saddle checking
Hay and straw ordered, bed will be made up on friday
Bought all the stuff we need, I think(!)
in the middle of reading a few BHS books to refresh my memory
Am I forgetting anything? I'd rather be super busy now and know that I'm on top of everything so come saturday morning I can relax and enjoy the start of this new adventure
