My little champ went to his new home nearly two weeks ago now, and i just dont know what to do with myself! Its like having withdrawral symptoms, i know i have done the right thing because im going to uni..... but i didnt realise it would be this hard!! I am in the middle of my A Levels, which i thought would distract me... but apparently not :(

Any ideas of what i can do do break the boredom? I was thinking about going and having some intensive lessons.... anybody know a good trainer in Hereford/Worcester with nice horses to distract me??

xxxxx
 
Don't lose momentum on the A-levels!!! Keep your eye on the ball there, but have you got any friends at livery yards? There are usually people that might appreciate some help over the summer when they are on holiday or for the odd day. You could find yourself with several horses to ride. Are you good at preparing horses for shows? (you might even make a few pounds) Or is there a sanctuary near you where you could offer your services? I lost my very old horse two months ago and I know how lost you must feel. I am now in demand at our yard as an extra pair of hands, which is all the fun without the responsibility or cost.
 
I am finding going up to the yard hard atm because it reminds me of how much i miss him.... how soppy is that :P
But i have been wrking with the RDA again... which is something i did when i was younger! I am going to try and find a comp ride or do abit of grooming for friends when im abit more settled and after a levels!
I think its because everything is changing... no college.. no horse... moving to uni Arrggh hehee!
Thanks for the advice, its nice to hear someone in the same situation!
 
Oh Yes, I SO understand - its awful going up to the yard and seeing another face in your old stable! Your life is going to be so different when you are at Uni and you must make the most of a great time in your life. My horse was loaned out while I was at Uni and there was a lot of worry and guilt attached to that - particularly leaving my mum to take on a lot of the responsibility etc. so you have probably been wise to sell your horse now. Plus, when you eventually start work you will be expected to put in loads of hours as you build your career which isn't really compatible with horse ownership (especially in the winter...been there, done that!), but it won't stop you getting another one in a few years time...you can't get away from it - once a horse owner, always a horse owner!!!
