M came to me on permanent loan when we decided to turn Pops away for a year. I was stressed and heartbroken after my summer of box rest with Pops and really didn't feel I had the capacity to let another horse into my heart...I also felt immense guilt at having a second horse, as if I was somehow cheating Pops.
I hadn't even met him before he arrived at our yard, but as luck would have it from a ridden perspective we clicked immediately. He takes a while to warm to new people, so we kinda rubbed along for the first month or so. It was only after a week away skiing that I realised I was falling for him, and when I lost Pops he became my rock.
I've had him nearly 6 months now and absolutely adore him. He's brought my riding on tenfold and reignited my passion for all things horsey and I will be forever thankful for that. He will never take Poppy's place, but the partnership we have together is very special and I can't wait to see what the future holds for us.
That's beautiful! I hope I get that too. Thank you for telling me your lovely story
