Sorry, this might get quite long! My very best friend and I have been on the same yard for 8 years. We help each other out, cry on each others shoulders, go out together, ride together - you get the picture. Last November I had major surgery and she looked after my baby horse until christmas, when tragically her Mum died. I ended up having to sell my youngster as I didnt feel it was fair on her as she had so much to deal with, and I couldn't look after him myself because of the op. In March I started to feel better, and my lovely hubby offered to buy me a new horse! Yippeee! So we went horse shopping and I bought a gorgeous 6yr old cob gelding. Now at this point I should mention that I am not a bit brave, and taking on a 6 yr old, even though he's 6 going on 16 he's so laid back, bless him, this was quite a big decision for me, but of course I had my bf to ride with and generally help and do the confidence boosting bit when I needed it! What happens next? I'll tell you - bf's boy who she has had for 7 years, goes inexplicabley lame. We still aren't sure if he is going to get better, but the point of all this is, I would love some company to hack out with, even if its just once or twice a month. Any ideas would be appreciated and I haven't even explained half of it yet, but I had better shut up before everyone falls asleep! Forgot to say I am based in Burton Joyce in Nottingham. Thanks for reading this!
