I always rode when I was a kid and my brother tells me I constantly stank of horses all through my teenage years ( cheers bro)
I had a break for the career/kids thing.....always fancied getting back on board but never did anything about it until my son, then aged about 6 asked if he could do something different for a change and he mentioned riding lessons (a decision he rues to this very day
)...
Obviously, watching him bobble about on the RS ponies made me book a few lessons and soon I was going twice a weekend.....OH got his calculator out and said, ''well- you may as well get your own for what you are spending''.......so I did.
5 years later......3 horses- me, daughter and OH ( son fell off one time too many and gave up, bless him).
A conservatory that resembles a boot factory.....muckas/wellies/leather boots stenching the place out.
A car boot full off tack and 'stuff'.
A shed full of 'horse stuff'
A wardobe consisting of work wear and riding wear and nowt else.
Calender that has shows/farrier/vet/presentation evenings....and thats it.
The horses now have their own bank account
I am on first name terms with every tack/feed shop owner in the area...
And now OH is devastated to discover that I have bought a Disco to clutter up the driveway and have his winter planned out renovating a trailer for me......
Anyone else remember when they had one horse and just its tack? Exactly where/when/how do you accumulate all the 'stuff'???
Rambling ponderings from a madwoman who has seen a vision of her future...its a scrawny 70 year old still stinking of horses, covered in horse-hair ....mucking out the grandkids ponies.....
What about you lot?
