I'm getting quite worried and my OH had suggested I see our doctor!
I posted previously how my mare had become cast in her stable and damaged several tendons above, below and on her hock which means she'll be non ridden for a year at least and possibly for ever. We have plans to put her in foal in the spring which in all honesty has been a plan for several years but I have delayed it because I love, love, love riding her and couldn't go without her while she mothered her child!
I'm so surprised how difficult if not impossible I'm finding it emotionally not having a horse to ride and particaly her. Now the shock has passed I'm in a state of mourning I think and I'm crying every day. I can pretend that it's all a bad dream and that I can cope but then she'll trot away and I'm devastated all over again. OH has said get another on loan, put her out to grass but get a horse you can ride. The troubled is its not that easy as I still need to keep an eye on her and take her back to the horsepital for more scans.
I have had several offers of a ride, there are a lot of horses out there that need riders, but I just can't get up the impetus plus as lovely as they maybe And I truly appreciate the offers, they are not her.
Am I being over dramatic? Do I need a kick up the bum?.........should I get a dog and go and do fly ball instead?
Has anyone else felt like me right now and does it get better......please? Any advice, or kicks will be much appreciated by this wimpy idiot!
