Good sharer like gold dust, had enough

Don't get me wrong, trying to which exotic place my Mum has left one of my feed scoop in the dark can be a little irratating from time to time, but in the grand scheme of things ... well, it's nothing is it?

Lol I could have written that myself
Like today asked my OH to please feed haynet specifically black or yellow one ( I had made these ones slightly smaller to not waste). Rather than hang up emptied net with other nets OH dumps red haynet on floor of tackroom so I nearly trip over it and as this was the big haynet it is wasted everywhere. Not to my anal standards but at the end of the day horse had hay and OH was nice enough to do it. No one is going to do it exactly the same as you.

I wouldn't completely give up hope. FInding a suitable loan horse is difficult as I have always part loaned, maybe put up a really honest advert for him saying that you need the person to be able to complete stable chorses, change rugs, turnout etc. and is confident. ALthough your pony sounds a nice character it will be easier for you to ask for someone who does have a little experience - even better, ask for references (riding school,colleges etc.) . If the lad is kind and keen to learn, maybe enitially be with him whilst he sorts out the horse, make sure he knows of anything he may be doing which could let the horse take advantage of him. Possibly recommend an instructor without coming across as rude, maybe saying that they would further improve his riding and it would benefit your pony too. Although it can be difficult, try and have set days when he does things and if he can't make it he needs to tell you in advance, good luck

Not going to get into the mucking out debate, no one mucks out my boxes like I do!! I am a fusspot.

I just wanted to pick up on one of your comments - I think you said your pony is a Highland and at 13 stone you are too heavy? I have a Highland who is a real stalkers pony, he has beautiful breeding and at 14.2hh and can carry 15 stone. That is the breed - a full grown stag can weigh 15 stone and Highlands have to be able to carry this weight of the mountain.

Perhaps you could get fit together?
