I have not written a Ben update for a couple of weeks , due to working ridiculous hours and having had 1 day off. I have been spending time with him either side of my shifts , grooming, talking to him . Lungeing and riding .
Ben arrived on the 08.12.2011 my first ever horse. He is on part livery , turned out and bought in for me.The first day he was turned out he reared , kicked and escaped. A chiffney has been used on him since , by experienced staff at the yard. He has been fine on the ground , and had been fine going in and out since then. I am at work today till 7pm . Just found out he has reared , hurt a member of staff and escaped , whilst being brought in today. Over reaching and cutting himself in the process. I will be straight to yard when I finish work.
I am so upset and worried about what I have bought, have I made a huge mistake ? I thought the first time was because he had not been turned out for a few weeks. He was such a good boy to ride in the school yesterday. I am already nervous of him and losing confidence by the second .
I would really appreciate some advice, comments as I am at work and am really upset ( I am a ridiculous worrier anyway ) .
