Evening everyone!
I have just discovered that I'm being taken on holiday later this year... all very exciting (I haven't been away in forever) but I'm already stressing and worrying about the horses
- I usually stay behind while everyone else goes away and we've never used any kind of horse sitter before but we'll have to this time.
Can anyone recommend a genuine, knowledgable (and nice!) one for the shropshire area? Alternatively (after googling) has anyone used 2 minds horse sitting - if so I'd be very grateful for your experiences (feel free to PM).
I'm a worrier as it is but my mare's not the easiest horse in the world and I'm worried that she'll misbehave for whoever's looking after her. She's very much a "one person" horse and as much as I've been trying to work on this, we haven't got that far yet and I can see her turning into a little madam - being bargy, refusing to be caught, nipping etc as she tends to do this with people who aren't "hers".
I'm also concerned as our little oldie tends to get ill in the winter and I won't be there if he is...
Also, can someone reassure me that they'll be fine?! It feels so wrong to leave them in the hands of someone I don't know... I'm already feeling majorly guilty.
We're only going for a couple of days, not a lifetime, but I don't think I'll be able to relax! x
